UTILITIES
Public Water and Wastewater Systems:
Public water and wastewater are not available to serve this site. The existing structure is
served by a private well and septic system. While use of public water and wastewater is
required by County Code for structures authorized by Conditional Use granted after June 23,
1993 within the Rural Conservation Area of the Southern and Western Area Plan, the Code
grants an exception for a use (a business) incidental to the principal use (a home) that was
previously allowed with a private well and a septic system.
Private Well and Septic System:
The Health Department must approve any new well or septic system or expanded usage of
any existing well or septic system to serve this site.
ENVIRONMENTAL: FIRE SERVICE: AND TRANSPORTATION
This request will have a minimal impact on these facilities.
LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
The request lies within the boundaries of the Southern and Western Area Plan which
designates the request property as part of the Rural Conservation Area where activities
should be limited primarily to agricultural and forestal uses with isolated single family
residences permitted on lots larger than five (5) acres.
Area Development Trends:
Surrounding properties are zoned Agricultural (A) and are occupied by single family
residential uses on large lots or are vacant. It is anticipated that the area will remain
agricultural and forested and that planned development will be deferred for twenty (20) years
unless adequate provisions are made earlier for public infrastructure improvements.
Zoning History:
On October 27,2004, the Board of Supervisors approved Conditional Use (Case 04SN0268)
to permit an HV AC contractor's office and warehouse incidental to the dwelling unit on the
request property for eighteen (18) months subject to conditions limiting the approval to the
applicants only, prohibiting additions or expansions to existing structures to accommodate
the use, and prohibiting outside storage and signs to identify the use.

07SN0218-MAR14BOS
Use and Time Limitations:
The applicants continue to operate a heating and air conditioning (HV AC) contractor's office
and warehouse on the request property. The Conditional Use (Case 04SN0268) which
permitted the business on the request property for eighteen (18) months expired in April
2006.
The applicants are requesting that this conditional use be renewed for twelve (12) months
while they complete plan approval and construct a new office and warehouse on property
located within the County's Airport Industrial Park:.
Site Design:
Development of the property must meet the minimum requirements for uses within the
Agricultural (A) District. In addition, Proffered Conditions provide that: (1) the business
will be conducted within the existing detached garage and no additions or alterations will be
permitted to accommodate the use and (2) outside storage and signage would be prohibited
(Proffered Conditions 2, 3 and 5). These are the same conditions under which the original
permit was granted.
CONCLUSIONS
While the proposed zoning and land use fail to conform with the Southern and Western Area Plan
which designates the request property as part of the Rural Conservation Area where activities should
be limited primarily to agricultural and forestal uses with isolated single family residences permitted
on lots larger than five (5) acres, the use has been conducted on the request property without any
apparent adverse impact on adjacent properties. In addition, the use is proposed temporarily while
construction of a new office and shop are completed on property properly zoned for the use.
Given the foregoing, approval of this request is recommended.
CASE HISTORY
Planning Commission Meeting (02/20/07):
The applicant accepted stafr s recommendation. There was opposition present expressing
concerns regarding the continuance of the use without the requisite conditional use and the
fact that the business has expanded adversely impacting area residents. Mr. Bass indicated
that the applicants are in the process of relocating to an appropriately zoned site and that
approval for a limited time period would allow them time to relocate. The applicant agreed
to amend proffered condition 4 to limit the Conditional Use to twelve (12) months.

On motion of Mr. Bass, seconded by Mr. Wilson, the Commission recommended approval
and acceptance of the proffered conditions on page 2.
AYES: Messrs. Geck:er, Gulley, Bass, Litton and Wilson.
The Board of Supervisors, on Wednesday, March 14, 2007, beginning at 6:30 p.m., will tak:e under
consideration this request.
