| Recommendations
on those and 54 other requests will be forwarded to the County Commission,
which will schedule a public hearing before making a final determination.
The
planning commission will complete work on comprehensive rezoning matters,
mandated as part of the Comprehensive Plan Update, at an Aug. 27 meeting
that will begin at 9 a.m. in its offices off of State Route 213 south of
Centreville.
And
rezoning of 50 acres that is part of the Queenstown Community Plan but
outside the town limits to accommodate a proposed resort hotel development
was recommended for approval only when chairman Rodger Weese broke a 2-2
tie with his favorable vote.
His
vote combined with those of Peter Lee and Scott Jacobs, while voting against
were David Clark and Loring Hawes. Member Patti Miller had recused herself
on the matter.
The
favorable recommendation agreed with views that the resort hotel proposal
is already part of the Queenstown Plan and that the rezoning is only the
first step for the developer, Washington Brick and Terra Cotta, which also
developed the nearby Queenstown Harbor Golf Links.
"We
don't want to go through the process like we did last time," said WBTC
principal Charley Burney of the seven years it took to approve and gain
permits for the golf course.
