Mr. Ford presented the request to renew the conditional use permit an additional year for two events one in June and one in August of 2009. These would be fund raisers to help finish construction on the temple building and grounds. The board reviewed the original 12 conditions governing the conditional use permit issued in 2005. After listening to residents that asked to speak on their concerns and reviewing the progress that the temple as made thus far the request was denied by motion of Kathy l because the conditions governing the conditional use permit have not been filled noting the fence, the parking issues and the drainage issue by the existing building. Plus the residents concern on the music issue of hours and noise level.. This was seconded by Mary all in favor except Bill motion passed.

 

Supervisor board, Doug accepted the recommendation of the planning board an Steve seconded all in favor motion carried.

 

John Pippert asked to be heard on a lot line adjustment. He wishes to buy a piece of property across from his property as that this piece needs to be split from a one acre parcel to half acre and to be attached to the north half of the pippert lake shore lot. Since the board had not done a sight inspection this was moved to the regular meeting to be assessed and evaluated.
