CALL PUBLIC HEARING TO ORDER SPECIAL CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST #SCU92-001 WHICH IS REQUESTED FOR LOTS 36-47; BLOCK 3; BATTLEGROUND ESTATES SECTION I. THE PURPOSE OF THE REQUESTED PERMIT IS TO ALLOW THE ABOVE DESCRIBED PROPERTY TO BE USED FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES, RAISING LIVESTOCK. Chairman Waters called the Public Hearing to order at 6:08 P.M. Mr. Harrington briefed the Commission regarding SCU92-001. The applicants, Ronnie and Melody Elledge own the property located in the 11000 Block of Monument Road (Lots 36-47; Block 3; Battleground Estates, Section I). They are proposing to utilize this property for raising livestock for their children's 4-H and F.F.A. projects. The proposed improvements would consist of a barn and fencing. This request satisfies ordinance prerequisites and is eligible for the requested Special • Conditional Use Permit, therefore, staff recommends approval of the request, subject to the following conditions: I. Fencing shall be setback at least 25 feet from side property lines. II. A maximum of two (2) head of livestock shall be housed on this property at any time. III. No animal which could be classified as wild or dangerous under the provisions of Ordinance 1401 shall be housed on this property at any time. Twenty-two (22) notices were mailed to adjacent property owners. Eight (8) were returned in favor of the request, and three (3) were returned in opposition to the request. Two (2) were returned undeliverable. Mr. Lewis stated that staff had not found anything in the subdivision's deed restrictions which would preclude this activity. Mr. Ebow expressed concern for the adjacent property owners who may not desire this type of activity in their subdivision. Mr. Harrington stated that the Northwest • part of La Porte is typically a rural area and that a number of the people who live there do so to have the opportunity to raise livestock. It was also noted that the • . Page 3 of 4 • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes of August 20, 1992 Zoning Ordinance was written with the intention of allowing the property owners in the area to raise livestock if they so desired. Mr. Ebow was satisfied with Mr. Harrington's reply. A. PROPONENTS Melody Elledge wanted the Commission to know that this subdivision isn't a typical subdivision and that there are existing barns and various animals throughout the neighborhood. She stated that she and her husband moved to the area so they could raise their children in a country atmosphere. Mr. Elledge stated there would not be a barbed wire fence. B. OPPONENTS There were none. • Chairman Waters reminded the Commission that the Ordinance was originally written to allow this sort of activity on land which was divided into acreage. Since these parcels of land are lots instead of acreage, a great deal of trust would be given to the applicants to take care of the property and livestock as a consideration to adjacent property owners. VI. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Waters closed the Public Hearing at 6:30 PM. VII. CONSIDER APPROVAL OR DENIAL OF SPECIAL CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #SCU92-001 A motion was made by Doug Martin and seconded by Eugene Edmonds to approve the Special Conditional Use permit SCU92-001 with the conditions recommended by staff. All were in favor and the motion passed. • • • Page 4 of 4 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes of August 20, 1992 VIII.
