REQUEST FOR ZONING CHANGE AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT The parcel no. of the lot on which I am requesting the zoning change and conditional use permit is 14-0610-202-9020-1. It is approximately 16 acres or 10% of my farm. I am requesting A-2 zoning with conditional use as a horse stable facility. The proposed use for this portion of my property is a horse boarding, riding, competition and any other activities that pertain to the use, ownership, care, competition, rodeos, training and showing of horses and the education and enjoyment of those persons involved by way of clinics and events to be held on the premises. Horses, consessions, supplies, accessories and other related items will be sold on the premises. It is my intention to create a full service equine facility for up to 125 resident horses that will be available to the general public. There is an approved farm entrance approximately 167 feet to the east of my private driveway. I would like to relocate this farm entrance, about 30 feet further to the east and use it as the entrance to my facility. It is necessary for me to create a secondary full time residence for my farm manager. It is my intention to locate a full size mobile home on the back side of my buildings that will overlook the entire horse facility. It is shown on my site plan as the long thin building to the right of my drive and furthest back toward the horse buildings. The mobile home will be installed on blocks and skirted with full water and septic service. It is my intention to provide trails on my entire farm while preserving the rural atmosphere I have grown to love. I have lived within two miles of this farm since 1972 and admired it as I passed on my way to work each and every day. It had been a dream of mine to someday own this property. My dream has come true. I intend to grow crops on much of the acreage. Perimeter riding around the fields and trails through the woods will provide a substantial trail system. My vision is cropland and horses grazing with riders enjoying a facility that will offer services unique to the boarding industry and an arena that will be second to none. I believe my neighbors and I will have something to be very proud to have in our area. I have attempted to design my facility in a location that will be to the back of all other buildings on my farm and away from the highway. I am in the process of purchasing high quality steel buildings for the stalls and arena. They will have a modern clean look that will be pleasing. This has always been a clean well kept farm. I intend to keep it that way. I intend to begin construction in July, 1996. I need to be open in October, 1996. Please help by addressing my application as expeditiously as possible. Timing is very important. Thank you.
