Comm. Gottovi requested that the Board seriously consider a final resolution of
this property after it was left so that the community would have something more positive
to remember the County by than a landfill and suggested that it be considered in the
parks and Recreation plan for the community; that perhaps I-2 zoning for this partic-
'ular area could be changed to something that would be a little ,more satisfactory in a
rural and transitional community as most of this property was. She stated that she
felt a motion to do that was a little premature because it would have to go through
the process but she would like to consider the final resolution of this property
along with the temporary use the Board was about to make of it.
Planning Board Chairman Richard Sniffen commented that it was in the long range
plan of the Planning Department to redefine many of the zoning areas in the County
so there was a long range plan to bring those areas out in the County into some areas
that were not zoned and 'to take a hard look at other areas to see whether or not they
should be zoned something else than what they were presently zoned, and when that
particular area was looked at with the long range rezoning plan maybe that could be
addressed.
Comm. Morgan SECONDED Chm. Williams motion for approval of the Special Use Permit
and stated for the record that she was seconding the motion because the County had to
have it; that it was temporary and that it was an emergency, but she wanted to make
sure that it was temporary and she was not seconding something that was going to be
there for awhile and she knew that everybody right there ,that day did believe that
it would be temporary. Upon vote, the motion carried as follows:
