PLANNING & ZONING 06-28-04
The Board considered Item No. 10 of the minutes of the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Commission dated 05/26/04. This item is TA-03- 02-04: Consider text amendment to the County Zoning Regulations to add an additional use to Type 2 Rural Home Business Occupation Regulations. Initiated by the Board of County Commissioners in March 2004. Sandra Day, staff member of the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Department, and Keith Dabney, Director of Zoning & Codes, were present for the discussion. This item comes to the Board with a unanimous recommendation to approve a text amendment to the Home Occupations section of the County Zoning Regulations [Sec. 19-6.2(c)(2)] to state:
"Assembly, distribution, maintenance and repair of dairy and agricultural implements and equipment."
Jones moved approval of the text amendment as recommended; Johnson seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
PLANNING 06-28-04
The Board then considered N-06-01-04: Vault Toilets at Camp Bromelsick, 682 N 1400 Road. Sheila Stogsdill, staff member of the Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Department, presented this item. Stogsdill explained that the Camp Bromelsick Foundation Board of Directors has requested approval of a non-conforming use to allow issuance of a building permit for the installation of a two stall unisex handicap accessible precast concrete vault toilet at Camp Bromelsick located north of Clinton State Park. The Boy Scout camp was established in the early 1960s and is considered a legal, non-conforming use since it predates the County's adoption of the Zoning Regulations in 1966. Article 20 of the Zoning Regulations provides direction on changes and alterations to non-conforming uses in the unincorporated portions of Douglas County. Section 20-2(b) states "No non-conforming building, structure, or use shall be changed, extended, enlarged or structurally altered unless: . . . (3) Authority is granted by the Board of County Commissioners to change the use or occupancy, provided the Commission finds the use is within the same or more restrictive classification as the original non-conforming use. . . ." Stogsdill stated that staff believes the requested installation provides an improvement to a well-established facility within the County and d s not conflict with the intent provided in Article 20 of the Zoning Regulations. McElhaney made a motion to approve the alteration of the existing non-conforming use of Camp Bromelsick to permit the installation of vault toilets in accordance with the following conditions as recommended by Douglas County Health Board:
The vault unit(s):
(a) Contain a minimum of one thousand (1000) gallons in size;
(b) Be constructed of steel reinforced concrete with walls being a minimum of four (4) inches thick;
(c) Be lined with a black ABS plastic liner;
(d) Provide a method for hand washing;
(e) Not be used at any future time for residential or commercial purposes; and
(f) Be filled in with earth should the property ever be sold or the use of the vault(s) be abandoned.
Motion was seconded by Jones and carried unanimously.
