Benjamion Borntrager is applying for Rezone and conditional use applications at W9597 Willis Ray Road. He plans to build a workshop for building wooden pallets. Several questions were asked and after discussion, Jon made a motion to approve both the Conditional Use and rezoning applications with the following parameters: some outside storage will be approved as longs as it is on the south side of the building, the area in front of building will provide enough space for delivery trucks to turn around, the majority of pallets will be stored inside and the building will have 18’ walls which allows enough space to stack the pallets,  and the hours of operation will be 6:30 AM – 5:00 PM, the motion seconded by Bob and the motion carried.

Discussion options for Jeannette Dr the questions was posed if the Town would agree to a permissive use arrangement and not vacate the property in question. Alison provided historical details on how Jeannette Henry and Vera access points were designed. At one point there was discussion about developing a subdivision on the property and the property is zoned A-3 which allows for subdividing the property. Alison indicated that they have no intention of developing a subdivision. They plan on constructing a gravel driveway 150’ long to their house placement. Jon said ok, but asphalt is required where the driveway would connect with the road. Jon also indicated that he would want screening/trees to protect the houses on both sides of the driveway. Jon tabled the discussion since Jake was not at the meeting and his input would be needed to make a final decision.

Branch chipping is a service provided between May and October. There is no cost to the resident for this service. However, there are times when the size of branches to be chipped is greater than the designated 3’x5’ amount. Historically, the Town has billed the residents for chipping that takes longer than 15 minutes. The amount collected does not adequately cover the Town’s cost for the additional time spent. Jon made a motion to bill for the extra time at $180.00/hour, at 15 min intervals, Bob seconded the motion and the motion carried.
