The time of 9:15 a.m. having arrived, the board opened the public hearing on a land use change requested by Aaron Brandley couldn't attend. Adjoining land owner Michael Devera was present. Marc Greenlee presented the technical information in accordance with the Benton County Agricultural Land Use Preservation Ordinance. The change in use is for approximately 1 acres located in part of Parcel A in NE ¼ NE ¼ of section 3-84-9. The request is to change the classification to a new non-agricultural use and create an apartment building within an existing building on the property. This property has an existing well and would need its own septic. Discharge permit might be necessary. This existing lot is surrounded by 13 adjacent lots known as Deer Run Estates. There was 3 phone calls received prior to the meeting from adjacent owners that were opposed to the change. Devera voiced his opposition about the concern of this affecting the value of his property with the proposed use of an apartment. Bierschenk moved/Wiley seconded: To deny the request for a land use change from agricultural to non-agricultural use on approximately 1 acres for a residential purpose on a parcel generally described as being located in part of Parcel A in the NE ¼ NE ¼ of section 3-84-9. The reason being is this is not a compatible use when surrounded by single family dwellings and this could alter the overall stability of the land use pattern of the area.
