Minutes of August 31, 2022
SPECIAL MEETING
Virtual Meeting on “Zoom”
Chair Martin Meyers called the meeting to order at 7:16 pm over the internet, via “Zoom”.
Attendance: A total of 18 people were present at the virtual meeting, including 6 board members. Board members: Chair Martin Meyers, Vice-chair Lance Ward, Secretary Donna Hazel, Bobbi Bryan, Marie Naughton and Nancy Read. Eligible voting members present were Vicki Fabryka, Doug Brown, Linda Brown, April McGinnis, and Jay Henke. Others present were: Stan Bleszinski, Robert Bleszinski, Danelle Isenhart, Dee Ross, Denise Knudson, Dan Dunn, and Kitty Dunn.
The special meeting was called to discuss the Land Use Application Z0331-22. The application was submitted by Danelle Isenhart of Danelle Isenhart Consulting, and the owners of the property are Robert Bleszinski, Stan Bleszinski, and Katherine Bleszinski.
The Proposal is to change zoning from RRFF-5 (Rural Residential Farm Forest 5-acre) to RA-2 (Rural Area Residential, 2-acre). The zoning change would allow the owners to potentially allow for a future subdivision with up to 15 lots.
Lengthy discussion was held with most questions directed to the consultant, Danelle Isenhart. One particular note of interest is that adjacent properties on both the south and the east of the proposed zoning change are already RA-2, including the development on Fieldstone Lane. Adjacent property to the west is RRFF-5, and property to the north is TBR. Concerns expressed involved timber that is adjacent to the property, impact on local traffic, and egress and ingress through the Fieldstone existing development. The property owners are not working with a developer at this stage but expressed a desire to retain the small timbered area as public land, and to perhaps have only 10 lots on the 30 acres.
Doug Brown moved that the application be approved, and was seconded by Donna Hazel. The motion was approved by 6-2-0. Martin Meyers will send an email to the County regarding the resulting vote.
Martin moved to close the meeting, and it was seconded by Marie Naughton. The meeting ended at 8:33 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Donna Hazel
CPO Secretary.
