96SN0163) relative to a required buffer in an Agricultural (A) District.

1996. The applicant plans to incorporate an adjacent parcel into the facility limits, converting the
single family residence located on this parcel for office use to serve the group care facility. With
the inclusion of this parcel, the perimeter buffering required by the 1996 case would be relocated
around the expanded facility limits.

PROPOSAL
A group care facility has operated on the majority portion of the property since 1996 with no
known adverse impacts on area properties. The operators of this facility propose to include an
additional 5.8acre parcel as part of this campus for the purpose of converting an existing dwelling
for use as asupporting office.
Inclusion of this parcel necessitates adjustment of the perimeter buffer offered with Case
96SN0163 so as to continue to maintain adequate separation and transition between the
expanded facility limits and existing and future residential development.
Use limitations and buffer standards are outlined on the following chart:
