Variance. Two documents which should be considered are: County Zoning Standards for all conditional use requests and conditional uses for A-1 property(the zoning which this request is being taken. Conditional Use Standards 1) That the establishment, maintenance, or operation of the conditional use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, or general welfare. A-this request shows no reason to believe any of this standard to apply negatively. 2)That the uses, values and enjoyment of other property in the neighborhood for purposes already permitted shall in no foreseeable manner substantially impaired or diminished by establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use. A- this use already exists as a non-conforming use and has done so without complaints for the past several years. Surrounding land uses do not seem in conflict- and are predominantly agricultural in nature. This use would seem compatible in an agricultural area- and may be the best possible use of property which is deemed not reasonably suitable for other agricultural uses- residential expansion not allowed 3) That the establishment of the conditional use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted. A- The Vienna Town Plan prohibits any other uses in the area other than Agricultural and agricultural farm owners children's residential uses. 4)That adequate utilities, access roads,drainage and other necessary site improvements have been made or are being made. A- no additional utilities, roads, or drainage seem necessary for this "limited use" 5) That adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress and egress so designated as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets A- no road problems will increase due to this "limited use" 6)That the conditional use shall conform to all applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. A- this request if granted would meet the above requirement with a Town Plan Variance. Conditional uses in the A-1 Agricultural District 1)Statement of purpose of the zoning ordinance and the A-1 District A- preservation of Agricultural lands and orderly development B- this proposal is for land not suited for normal agricultural use and would encourage orderly development by it's best use 2)The potential for conflict with agricultural uses A- this use is considered to have no impact with existing agricultural uses or any foreseen agricultural uses in the future 3)The need of the proposed use for a location in an agricultural area A- the Vienna Town Plan has not designated area for LC-1 uses and agricultural land would be needed for any such designated use- be it here or elsewhere 4)The availability of alternate locations.
