IV. Adjournment
A
Notice
to
the
public
the
time
to
date,
the
place
and
their
gender
for
this
meeting
was
published
as
a
legal
notice
on
august
3rd
2020
in
the
aitkin
standard
notice,
two
contiguous
property
owners
were
mail
and
signs
were
posted
on
or
before
august.
The
5th
2020
notice
was
sent
by
august
21st
for
posting
on
the
city
webpage
to
the
city,
clerk.
A

It
was
annexed
into
the
city
with
a
concept
plan
under
a
planned
commercial
zoning
that
was
approved
in
2007,
the
applicant.
It
can
senior
life
services
which
is
to
operate
senior
community
services
on
the
property
and
utilize.
The
existing
approximate
nineteen
thousand
square
foot
structure,
which
is
a
fairly
I'd,
say
fairly
kind
of
open
and
flexible
structurally
constructed.
It
was
constructed
with
71
parking
spaces
at
the
time
they
are
actually
proposing.
E
A
community
service
use
in
the
planned
commercial
district
requires
a
special
exception
and,
interestingly
enough,
community
services
in
a
lot
of
our
zone
districts
require
a
special
exception.
I
think
it's
just
because
they
kind
of
are
just
unique
as
a
usage,
and
you
know
it
kind
of
allows
you
to
take
in
the
unique
characteristics
of
whatever
the
use
is
based
on
the
zone
district,
and
it
refers
to
our
our
criteria
established
in
here
for
the
special
exception.
E
E
A
E
E
I
guess
so
that
one
or
two
things
one
to
just
make
sure
I
guess
it
fits
in
with
the
kind
of
criteria
that
it's
it's
not
in
any
way,
gonna
harm,
any
adjacent
property.
I
think
it
just
provides
that
extra
level
of
assurance.
We
generally
know
how
a
retail
business
works.
We
generally
know
how
office
businesses
you
know
work
as
far
as
like
characteristics
of
traffic
parking
and
those
sorts
of
things.
E
I
think
it's
just
that
most
non-profit
or
entities
they
can
have
such
a
scope
of
services
that
it
allows
kind
of
them
to
be
looked
at
as
a
special
case
to
make
sure
that
they're
essentially
kind
of
no
harm
no
foul
with
with
what's
going
on
in
the
general
area
in
which
they'd
be
located.
Okay,
you.
We
see
this
a
lot
with,
for
instance,
like
religious
institutions
in
in
neighborhoods,
and
things
like
that.
E
E
This
in
this
case,
as
we
went
through
the
criteria,
nothing
really
stood
out.
It's
it's
they're,
providing
again
it's
it
with
the
prior
use
and
the
site
being
developed
and
created
for
a
retail
business
in
most
ways
that
business
is
a
higher
impact
use
on
most
of
the
criteria
you
look
at,
such
as
buffers
and
traffic
and
that
sort
of
thing
than
what
the
proposed
use.
A
E
E
F
A
E
E
City
of
aiken
right,
so,
if
you,
if
you
see
the
map,
that's
up
now
and
again,
that's
I
guess
this
would
be
the
second
page
of
exhibit
b
that
I've
got
displayed
up
here
for
reference
purposes,
so
the
the
property
that
you
see
there
was
with
colors
and
zone
districts
attached
to
it
are
inside
the
city
of
aiken
city
limits.
So
we
have
citizens
park,
which
is
kind
of
I
guess
to
the
north
and
west
there
at
old
airport
parcel
as
general
business.
A
E
So,
in
this
case,
yes,
it
it
yeah,
the
the
city,
sewer
services
actually
kind
of
they
stop
further
down
here
and
go
kind
of
into
citizens
park
and
then
come
from
another
direction.
They
pick
back
up
for
the
subdivision,
but
this
is
kind
of
in
a
hole
of
sewer
service
right
now,
which
is
why
most
of
that
property
is
still
unincorporated
around
it.
E
A
A
D
B
C
E
E
It
has
been
essentially
planned
that
it
if
it
were
to
ever
come
into
the
city,
you
can
see,
there's
a.
Let
me
go
to
the
site
plan
on
here
or
the
overhead.
There
you
go,
you
can
see
an
inner
parcel
access
that
was
originally
kind
of
planned
here
for
if
and
when
this
were
to
ever
develop,
but
it
has
not
today
and-
and
it
remains
out
in
the
county.
Okay,.
E
E
A
A
F
Good
question,
so
at
this
time
we
don't
know
we
have
not
approached
anyone,
although
I
think
probably
in
the
coming
months.
That
will
be
next
on
our
to-do
list,
but
I
can
assure
you
we
will
be
very,
very
careful
in
screening
whoever
would
come
in
there,
whoever
it
is
has
to
be
compatible
with
our
business,
because
we
have
seniors
that
are
coming
in
there.
We
have.
F
B
A
But
that
I
might
point
out,
since
you
anticipate
a
lot
of
traffic
from
seniors,
that
coming
out
of
the
lot
that
those
trees
that
are
to
the
west,
it
creates
a
tremendous
blind
spot
amen
and
something
should
be
done
about
those
because
you
you
you
take
your
life.
In
your
own
hand,
coming
out
of
the
parking
lot
and
if
traffic
there
is
45
miles
an
hour,
you
may
work.
F
F
F
A
B
D
The
you
you
come
from
quite
a
different
location
from
where
you
were
to
where
you
will
be
here.
Yes
and
the
traffic
is,
as
we
say,
a
little
different
traffic
flows,
different
speeds
and
so
forth.
But
the
question
I
have
is
with
regard
to
you
said
rental
space.
What
functions
would
be
renting
from
you
or
what
kind
of
functions
would
you
have
in
this
rental
space.
D
F
F
D
F
Doesn't
need
1400
square
feet,
so
we
have
talked
about
the
possibility
of
giving
her
some
space
in
the
center.
That
would
allow
her
to
put
these
kits
together
and
then
maybe
also
utilizing
her
services.
With
regard
to
our
aging
seniors,
who
are
coming
in
for
a
meal,
you
know
maybe
there's
some
synergy
there,
so
that
is
in
the
back
of
my
mind.
D
I
I
guess,
where
I'm
going
to
with
this,
that
you
don't
anticipate
again
a
traffic
generation
issue
right
or
this
origin
and
destination
type
studies
that
they
do
as
far
as
traffic
in
and
out,
as
the
chairman
pointed
out
and
as
you
well
know
going
in,
and
out
of
that
can
be
a
little
tricky.
So
you
don't
anticipate
this
generating
any
more
traffic
than
you
would
normally
have.
F
F
C
C
F
And,
of
course,
that
isn't
happening
right
now
when
we
move
to
the
new
location
on
the
south
side,
I
anticipate
getting
more
visibility
for
sure,
so
I
I've
already
planned
for
that.
Our
dining
room
has
a
seating
capacity
right
now
for
66,
and
we
have
the
possibility
of
even
increasing
that
more
so
right
now
it
is
a
bit
of
a
struggle.
There's
only
three
available
parking
spots
in
our
current
location,
so
it's
tight,
so
we're
ready
we're
ready
to
get
going
and
move
to
our
new
location.
C
A
C
I
move
that
we
accept
application
number
21-9201
with
the
following
conditions:
a
special
exception,
pursuant
to
section
3.1.6,
is
granted
to
permit
senior
community
services
on
properties
owned,
planned
commercial
generally
located
at
own
at
13,
10,
east
pinewall,
road
tpn,
137,
1705
005,
and
the
final
order
is
to
run
with
the
land
and
the
final
order
shall
be
con
recorded.
The
aitkin
county
rmc
office.
C
D
D
I
guess
you
would
call
it
the
applicant
or
the
current
owner
of
the
property
and
that,
if
there's
any
change
in
ownership
down
the
road,
they
would
come
back
to
us
to
review
or
consider
a
special
exception,
because
it
would
run
with
the
owner
not
with
the
land.
And
I
guess
I
would
ask
the
question
of
ryan.
Also.
Yes,.
