Re: Senate Bill 35 Exemption
Redstone Corporation
Gentlemen:
I have conducted the review of a request, for a: Senate Bill 35 Exemption.
The lot that will be created by the exemption is approximately one
acre below the minimum lot size as the property ,is now zoned.
Utilities are provided with on -lot water ant.septic systems.. An
aerobic treatment system is planned for ,the, new dwelling with the
present water system planned to serve both_the present, and. future
dwellings.
The land is relatively flat with hpn;es immegiately, to the north of the
present lot.
I feel this area represents an expandable area,in,,terms, of future
development because of the terrain. ad avari,iabi, .ity of„ground. The
subdivision process should be used. to regulate the.censity and impact
of any future development of this area U,pop..,thA _county rather than.
an exemption procedure on one 2,Qt,,,.. .,
Of the previous exemptions, several involve lots which fall under the
minimum acreage. However, of those above exemptions containing building
sites, most dealt with dwellings already constructed. and pre-existing
or lots which were to be developed With Inuxricip_ai, water andpewer.
In this case, the actions taken by the county in setting up the future
development of this area off of ,thp county r gd.,,, ,should be done under
the subdivision process.
Therefore, I would recommend detiial_of _the re_quest..
Respectfully submitted,
