presented was rather haphazard and had too much potential for detrimental effects on public health. e. The applicant agreed to berm portions of the site but did not agree to fence it. The Plan Commission found that the site could easily become an attractive nuisance,and found that management of the site as proposed would be detrimental to public health,safety and welfare. 2. That the uses,values and enjoyment of other property in the neighborhood for purposes already permitted shall be in no foreseeable manner substantially impaired or diminished by establishment, maintenance or operation of the conditional use. FINDING: NOT SATISFIED,for the following reasons: a. A resident adjacent to the proposed site explained that he had cultivated trees for many years as a cash crop,described stormwater patterns and indicated that the additional drainage from the proposed sand pit would increase water to his land and cause harm to his trees. The applicant presented no stormwater drainage plan to defeat the resident's assertion. The Plan Commission concluded that storm water runoff could foreseeably harm the value of the trees as a cash crop. b. As set forth in#1 above,without fencing or some type of enclosure or an on-site caretaker,the site could become an attractive nuisance thereby diminishing public safety and adversely affecting adjacent properties. C. As set forth in#1 above,increased traffic and lack of direct access to STH 12-18 would foreseeably diminish use,value and enjoyment of adjacent properties who must also use the county road to access STH 12-18. d. As set forth#1 above,dust from the crushing and transfer of materials would diminish use,value and enjoyment of adjacent properties.
