Major Collector 400 ft. Minor Collector 385 ft. Unclassified 380 ft. Commissioner Genter asked how these changes are working in Delaware County. Mr. Brown responded that they have just gone into effect so there is no information available at this time. Commissioner Genter said he has concern with the Agricultural and Personal Recreation Purposes Exemption. Commissioner Graf felt that the zoning regulations would come into play. Commissioner Barnaby asked if the sale of property on Road C happened before the regulations were to go into effect, would they be grandfathered in? Mr. Brown said no and recommended if approved the regulations would go into effect in 30 days. This would give ample time for notification. Commissioner Graf asked about Article 2...would January 1, 2006 be the effective date. Mr. Brown said yes. Mr. Terry Stites presented questions: primary question is the concern for usable water; #2 septic system; #3 is drainage. He questioned letting people know ahead of time before the sale of the property that these problems exist. Mr. Stites said the water supply is very questionable in this area and that the people currently living there experience water problems. Commissioner Genter suggested that perhaps a solution would be for someone to be at the auction and ask questions of the auctioneer in order to bring the problem to light. Commissioner Graf added that there would have to be a request for change in the zoning in order to have more than once residence on the parcel. No one had testimony. Commissioner Graf closed the hearing at 9:56 a.m. Commissioner Barnaby made motion to approve to accept the recommendation of the zoning commission effective in 30 days. Commissioner Genter seconded the motion. Roll call vote - the motion was unanimously approved. Seconded by Commissioner Genter A letter was stamped into the record from a York Township resident. | |
