At 7:50 P.M. the Chairman called for public hearings on matters as advertised
in the Daily Progress on March 7, 1973 and March 1~, 1973:
r: (The first two items were discussed as one at the request of the applicant.)
t i (1) ZMP-260. Joel M. Cochran, Inc. has petitioned the Board of SUpervisors to rezone
2.&2 acres from RS-1 Residential to A-1 Agricultural. Property is situated on
Route 250 W. near its intersection with Route 2~ at Brownsville.Property is
described as Tax Map 56, Parcel 3~. White Hall Magisterial District.
Mr. Humphrey stated that Mr. Cochran's efforts to rezone originally to the RS-1 zone
was to enable sales of two existing d~ellings. Now, the desire is to zone back to
r
!
A-1 so that a special permit may be heard for a "craft shop". The staff, while
recommending approval of the RS-1, is of the opinion that A-1 zoning would be just as
appropriate relative to residential densities.
(2) SP-235. Nan Therese Rothwell has petitioned the Board of SUpervisors to locate a
pottery craft shop on 2.62 acres of land zoned RS-1 Residentia.. Ftgperty is
situated on Route 250 West at Brownsville. Property is described as Tax Map 56,
Parcel 3~, Whit. Hall Magisterial District.
Mr. Humphrey stated that this request is in conjunction with ZMP-260 to rezone this
property back to A-1 from RS-1. This pottery shop was prev.iously requested as a
"cottage industry" (Use Permit~'72-01 to amend the zoning ordinance to include such a
use in the A-1 zone.) On January 22, 1973, the Planning Commission decided that such
requests for cottage industries should be brought up as special permit requests until
such time as the Planning Commission could better determine what constituted a
"cottage industry". Mr. Humphrey then stated that the Planning Commission unanimously
recommended approva1~ ZMP-260 and also recommended approval of SP-235, with the
following conditions: (1) no retail sales allowed on the premises; (2) all activity
confined to the dwelling and acdessory structures; (3) no outside storage; (4) no
more than three employees; and (5) underground storage of propane tank.
Mr. Cochran was present in support of these petitions, No one from the public
spaRe for or against either petition. Motion to approve ZMP-260, as recommended by the
Planning Commission was offered by Mr. Fisher, seconded by Mr. Henley and carried by
