Board of Supervisors Meeting Minutes
The meeting focused on a public hearing regarding a rezoning request for a 4.38-acre property. The applicants sought to rezone the land from residential to agricultural to allow for horse keeping, as the property had lost its previous nonconforming use status. Neighbors expressed concerns about the implications of rezoning on the types of animals allowed and potential safety issues. The board discussed the current ordinance requirements for acreage and explored potential future options, including forming a committee to study ordinance changes or allowing the applicant to apply for a special exception in the future.
