Health Department: No record of a sewage disposal permit on file. The property was
denied for a construction permit on July 22, 1999. The owner must obtain approval for the
installation of an approved sewage disposal system prior to health department approval of this
request.
Sanitation Authority: No comment.
Planning and Zoning: Public garages with body repair are allowed in the RA (Rural Areas)
Zoning District with a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant proposes to build a three -bay
60' by 60' garage to house this business. All repair work shall take place entirely within an
enclosed structure. All exterior storage of parts and equipment shall be screened from view
of surrounding properties by an opaque fence or screen at least five (5) feet in height, and be
adequately maintained. This property is surrounded by vacant RA properties and RA
setbacks will be maintained. Based upon the limited scale of the proposed use and evaluation
of the property, it appears this use would not have any significant impacts on the adjoining
properties.
