(252ndPflug Road)
Ken Tex stated that Lyman-Richey had a Special Use Permit approved for a period of 30 years. This is an amendment to that Permit that would allow the addition of 100 acres to the permit.
Carol White, Lyman-Richey, noted they also intend to establish a portable concrete plant on the property. The property will be mined for Mr. Bundy, the owner of the land.
Ken noted the road access had been improved a couple of years ago to help improve the traffic flow and that nothing else should be needed in the way of additional access or improvements. In addition,Tom Lynam stated that, if necessary, dust control measures would be used.
Carol White indicated they were already participating in dust control and would continue to do so.
*Public Hearing Closed at 7:09 p.m.*
- Fenster moved, seconded by Marquardt, to recommend approval of the amendment to the Special Use Permit as it meets the zoning regulations. Ballot: Ayes – Bliss, Fenster, Gonzalez, Krebs, Marquardt and Wear. Nays – none. Abstain – none. Absent – Dunbar, Gross, Wees and Whitfield. Motion carried.
B.Proposed addition to the SarpyCounty Comprehensive Development Plan to add an area on Figure 5.1 (Development Structure Plan), formerly an “urban service area”.
Ken explained why we needed to amend the Comprehensive Development Plan. He stated it was an area left void when the City of Gretna rescinded their annexation. Part of the area is already developed as a mixed use area. That type of use is consistent with our comp plan up to that point and is consistent with what Gretna had intended. He did indicate that Gretna was in the process of revising their comp plan and wasn’t sure what, at this point, they will do with the ground adjacent to this. A developer has recently shown preliminary plans that would conform to the comp plan as presented. He also noted the City of Omaha is using 180th Street as a north/south connector, which would continue into SarpyCounty.
*Public Hearing Closed at 7:15 p.m.*
- Bliss moved, seconded by Krebs, to recommend approval of the amendment to the Comprehensive Development Plan as presented as it is consistent with the area for mixed use. Ballot: Ayes – Bliss, Fenster, Gonzalez, Krebs, Marquardt and Wear. Nays – none. Abstain – none. Absent – Dunbar, Gross, Wees and Whitfield. Motion carried.
- CORRESPONDENCE:
Ken noted Nebraska Land Trust had received a substantial amount of money from the Nebraska Lottery for the purchase of conservation easements.
Don Fenster would like to schedule a tour for the Planning Commissioners and CountyBoard to see the areas that have been changed by zoning and platting. It was tentatively scheduled for the May meeting date if arrangements can be made.
IV.ADJOURNMENT:
Being no further discussion, Marquardt moved, seconded by Bliss to adjourn the meeting.By a unanimous oral vote, Vice-Chairman Wear declared the meeting adjourned at 7:26 p.m.
