2. The Property is located in the RR-1A, One Family Rural Zoning District which requires a minimum lot area of 5.0 dry acres and a minimum lot width of 300 feet. 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at a public hearing held on June 15, 2015 and voted 6 for and 0 against on a motion to approve the CUP. The Planning Commission finds that the following factors support the granting of the requested CUP: a. The Property is 22.5 acres in area; has over 850 feet of width along Watertown Road. b. The request for fill in excess of 500 cubic yards will not significantly impact the Property as viewed from Watertown Road. The grading on the Property will have no impact on surrounding lands. The finished grade will be vegetated with a pasture mix to blend into the pasture acreage on the Property. The project, once completed, should not result in undesirable views requiring mitigation. c. The filling and re-grading of the Property, once completed, will have no impact on surrounding lands. The grades, once vegetated, will blend into the rest of the pasture acreage. d. The proposed grading and improvements will not substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the properties in the area or have an adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses. e. The result of the proposed grading will not change the intended residential use of the property so there should be no change in the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties resulting from the import of fill. However, the prolonged activity of importing fill and actively grading the property will have an adverse impact on neighbors, surrounding properties, and users of Watertown Road. Trucks hauling and equipment working on the site will likely result in additional noise, dust, vibration and traffic on the haul routes and immediate neighbors. To the degree possible, negative impacts should be limited and mitigated. Page 2
