Memorandum
To: Joan McDowell, Principal Planner for Rural Areas
From: Amelia McCulley, Zoning Administrator
Division: Zoning
Date: March 10, 2009
Subject: S.P. 2008 -58 Harris Garage Amendment — comments on revision
These comments are provided for the revised plan dated February 15, 2009.
Please consider the following comments:
1. The current plan does not address screening along the side property line between this property
and TM 8, Parcel 39131 Lawson.
2. (My comment from comments on December 12, 2008): The plan does not indicate the location
of the existing septic field and it should. Is it in the area of the fill? If so, Health Department
review should be obtained.
3. Please indicate the dimensions of the building. An approximate square footage may be
problematic.
4. Revise the plan to show the orange structure on the side of the building.
5. The applicant is advised that any vehicle chassis in their personal parking is considered an
inoperative vehicle. A maximum of two are allowed and they must be covered / shielded from
public view.
Please be certain that the special use permit conditions include:
1. Revision to condition #13 that is clear about numbers of business vehicles;
2. New condition which requires certain remediation work to be done promptly and allows for a
bond to be held for 5 years as suggested by County Engineer. The reason for this is twofold:
a) instead of allowing the full two year time period for a special use permit since there are
current violations that are being addressed, we will want remediation work (such as treatment
of critical slopes and replanting in the stream buffer) to be done as soon as possible; and b)
because the Ordinance only allows us to hold a site bond for one year, extending it to 5 years
for the replanting can be done by the Board as part of the special permit approval.
3. Include a condition which clearly states what is approved. For example, a certain number of
bays and /or size of building.
