Moving on, we have some renewals, I'm going to read number two three and five first number, two common melody power and river crest marina is a conditional use permit for a maximum of three campers for personal use, golf carts for rentals maximum 15. located at 1200 west. Second, that's in heavy industry, and it was a one year.

That's high density, residential one-year renewal. There have been no complaints and the renewal fee has been received and number five stuart and kimberly heisey a conditional use permit for a guest house located at 215 east street zone, historic district residential. That was a one-year renewal.

C

A

uh We have a couple here: number one lucas soul, conditional use permit for mobile home located at 2761 east state road 56, that's in residential agriculture. That was a one-year renewal and number four sean sam's conditional.

A

I'm going to read number one. First.

A

He has not paid his renewal.

A

I move that we instruct the building inspector or the I move. We instruct the attorney to send him a letter indicating that if he pays his renewal fee by our next regular meeting that his permit will be, this conditional use, permit will be renewed and, if not, you'll have to apply for a new one. That's my motion have a second second and we'll have a roll column, rick ferris, yes, scott.

A

Yes, mark yes, number four sean sand. The conditional use permit for a wrestling facility located at 2520 lanier drive sweet tea, that's in heavy industry. That was one-year renewal.

A

I'm thinking about him! How, in the age of co-ed, can you have a wrestling facility?

A

So I would like to make a motion that we instruct the building inspector or the secretary to send him a letter indicating that if he pays his fee by the next regular meeting, his conditional use permit will be renewed, and I would also like to instruct in the motion instruct building inspector to try to find out if he's still in business or what's happened to him. That's my motion.

A

We have a second.

A

Could you repeat that okay, first part of the motion instruct the secretary or building inspector sending a letter indicating that if he pays his fee by our next regular meeting, his conditional use will be renewed and the second part is to instruct the building inspector to try to contact him and find out, if he's still in business or, if he's having any particular kind of problems along.

A

He's probably having a very hard time, if he's running his wrestling facility, and perhaps we can have some mercy on him. That's the purpose of the motion, not the motion itself.

A

Those were the two parts of my motion.

C

A second I don't know, I have a.

B

Roll call rick ferris, yes, scott baldwin, yes, nancy, burkhart, yeah, bob wallace, yes mark costa. Yes,.

A

Thank you and number six kentuckiana news: a conditional permit for recording editing, producing photo fishing and administrative office located at 402 west main street in the specialty district. That was the one you're renewal. There's been no complaints. The radio fee is not received.

A

I move that we instruct the building inspector to send.

A

I think that was a her a letter indicating that she pays her conditional additional use renewal fee by our next meeting next regular meeting and it will be renewed otherwise. You'll have to reapply for our conditional use. Permit.

C

A

And we can have a roll call, please rick ferris, yes, scott goldman, yes,.

C

A

Well, it takes care of our renewals under new applications. There are none under tabled applications. We had one that was from vicki demary of variance from development standards at 1938, michigan road, and I understand that application has been withdrawn by the applicant to liberal, so that one is done and there were no other tabled applications.

A

Now old business. uh We had uh clara nicholson, 3598 west interstate block road, and I understand that they paid and therefore that one is renewed for our previous meetings and there's another one here: lania moore, 3607, north old state route, 62., and what has come of that? She has a that's page two.

A

So that's taken care of our next one on our agenda is a letter of complaint.

A

From rick and abel ferris, one of our board members about um a conditional use, permit corey, w perry in, uh I believe august of 2020 meeting for a property at 1660 north virtually road in madison, and essentially the complaint is first that there are junk vehicles parked on the property which I myself have seen. I drove down there a couple days ago.

A

And the other part is what does mr perry plan to do? The conditional conditional use permit was to allow a trailer there, a mobile home, and I believe that was a very specific mobile home. The second part of the complaint is: is he planning on operating some type of business at this property?

A

So I you have any comments.

B

Yes, so I think where.

A

B

Started was mr perry wanted to set a mobile home on the site. I think the issue was the age of that structure right the next time we saw mr perry, he was deciding. He would go ahead and build a house on site. We have some plans in the office. He never never came back to follow through that was as of yet, and so after this letter complaint I reached out to mr perry, and his comment on the vehicles was that they were. They are his brothers and his brother's aware that they need to be removed.

B

Asap, I think, at the time of that conversation, we could probably expect him to be gone this week. Hopefully, if, according to what he said, mr perry said, he truly wasn't aware that they were there. I think that they had been there for a while, but regardless given the opportunity to get them on there, so I don't think, there's an intent to start any sort of business in that regard, at least that's according to conversation, um and then to complete that conversation, mr prairie said he still plans to live.

C

On site, eventually,.

B

I think what he wants to do is bring in a newer manufactured structure, obama so, but again nothing moving on that. Yet.

A

So the complaint has been taken and steps have been taken to correct the problem. um I guess the conditional use permit would still be valid unless I'm not certain. If he's changing his plans and filed plans with the building office to build a house.

A

Where's, our attorney yeah.

A

You've seen a copy of.

A

The complaint was two parts: one was the junk vehicles. um Mr martin spoken with mr perry and apparently there's attempts to resolve that, but also mr perry apparently has filed some house building plans with the building office with, um and you say he may put a different trailer. That's newer.

B

A

Last comment was.

B

That he's not going to follow through with constructing a home there by actually bringing a newer mobile phone. Because I think that if you recall the previous.

C

B

With that, the first is that yeah it was, it was too old right.

A

So, in your view, should we just make a motion and void previous conditional use or just let it stand until he.

A

Because that conditional use, as I recall, was for a very specific trailer or wasn't there a variance in there too, for an older trailer.

A

B

You know, I don't think that was.

C

B

C

B

Actually didn't didn't get passed simply because the age of the of the mobile home, I think that's why he was moving toward building a structure there. I would think any conditional use has to be specific to the actual structure correct going.

A

B

Of the the boilerplate height on that this.

A

Trailer would have to be no older than 15 years 15 years, and I think that's why it sounds familiar because I think we might have the same thing with the other trailer application.

B

So anything moving forward would be specific to whatever structure he plans to set here.

A

So my only question is: should we void the previous conditional use by emotion or just let it stand I tried later on for now now I agree and you'll you'll check back. You say it should be hopefully done within the week.

B

So the other part of the conversation is is he's in the buffer zone, and so we actually don't have the jurisdiction to follow up on nuisance issues like vehicles, so um I I think that um complaint has also been lodged with with the county. I also made a call over myself, as we know, they're trying to maybe figure out their system on how to deal with those those matters so yeah. I guess the hopeful outcome is that the vehicles are gone and then wait for mr perry to bring something new in for an actual home.

A

That troubles me since we don't really have jurisdiction over enforcement.

A

How can we make a.

C

C

A

C

Do anything else saying we know? I just did this with something else. They know you're not following this specific cutting section of the ordinance you need to come in compliance or not, or you need to you could control them.

A

Inspector to send a letter appropriate to the situation.

C

A

hmm Could we have a.

B

B

A

Okay, as far as I know, that is all our old business or anything else, so yeah we're getting there. Okay uh per, I believe, section 11.12. At the first meeting of the year we have to choose a new chairman and a vice chairman, and he will open the nominations and for chairman I will nominate mrs burkhart I'll.

D

Be calling thank you, but I would like to nominate bob waller as chairman.

A

uh I I can't I have too much. I really do.

D

I would like to nominate scott baldwin's chairman.

A

C

A

We have a vote I'll roll, please uh rick, ferris, yes,.

D

A

Yes, and now we need a nomination for vice chairman. Once again, I nominate mrs burkhardt.

A

We have a roll call.

D

Do you need the speaker I did. I know you have a chance what I'd like to call that? Oh I'm sorry, I just do not have the time.

A

We need, then, I nominate rick ferris for our vice journal. Second,.

B

And we'll have a little call. Thank you, rick rick ferris. Yes, scott, wilma, nancy burkhardt, yes, bob waller, yes, mark.

C

A

Everybody has to do their time in the barrel. I believe that concludes all of our business staff. Do you know of anything else that may have forgotten?

A

Thank you. Take a motion to adjourn second high. Second, all in favor signify by saying.
