5. Applicant is proposing to establish a mulching business as a commercial use in conjunction with agriculture on the subject property. The business operations would include the storage of woody debris to be turned into mulch, the production of the mulch on -site, and the storage of mulch. 6. Various agencies were contacted with the proposal and given an opportunity to comment. Public Works Land Development and Engineering Permits (LDEP) requested that the following be included in the land use decision: Requirements: A. Within 30 calendar days from the date of full land use approval, obtain an Access Permit to permanently close the private driveway approach to Brooklake Road in favor of taking all access off 57th Avenue. Rationale is that the property already has two accesses from 57th Avenue, which is considered reasonable access, and furthermore, the Brooklake Road approaches measuring only 25 feet apart from each other do not meet spacing criteria for a Major Collector. Also under the Permit, widen the 57th Avenue approach with hot mix asphalt including broadening the radius flares since evidence indicates wide vehicle turns are dragging gravel onto the edge of Brooklake Road. Note: it will not be required to re -address the property to 57th Avenue. Marion County Building commented: "No Building Inspection concerns. Permit(s) are required to be obtained prior to any development of structures and/or utilities installation on private property, if applicable." Marion County Septic commented: "An authorization is required if there is any proposed connection to the existing system." Marion County Code Enforcement commented that the application is to help resolve a code enforcement violation on the property. Marion County No 1 Fire District provided comments with fire code requirements for the proposed commercial option. See enclosed comments. All other commenting agencies stated no objection to the proposal. 7. Prior to the public hearing, Attorney Nicholas A. Rhoten submitted a statement in objection to the Application, which was included in the record, on behalf of Adelman Peony Gardens, LLC. Adelman Peony Gardens operates a farm directly across from the Subject Property, and noted disruptions to their farm practices resulting from Applicant's proposed operations. 8. Prior to the hearing, Terry Beilke submitted a statement addressing his concerns that the sale of the wood chips is a minimal portion of the income for Applicant and his concerns CU 24-028 - ORDER Klopfenstein Page 4 Page 9 of 26
