Purdy made a motion and Schuppan seconded to close the public hearing. Arnold, Lancaster, Lanfear, Purdy, Quandt, Richardson and Schuppan all voted yes and none voted no. Motion carried County Attorney Jack Zitterkopf did not prepare a resolution without knowing the board's wishes so it is not on the agenda. This will give the board members time to think about it and address it in two weeks. Quandt stated they cannot take action if it is not on the agenda. Lancaster stated it would be difficult to prepare a resolution if he does not have any directions. The fact that people have taken the time to be here is an indications of how they feel. This is discussion but no action. Arnold stated that this is a hard decision and he expressed concern on previous meetings. There are issues on private property rights but the private property has to be used in an appropriate manner. Mr. Vontz bought the property knowing that the zoning could allow the conditional use. If it is denied it could affect the property value. He asked Mr. Nabity if it is zoned properly. Mr. Nabity stated that they would still have to apply for a permit and there has to be good reasons why a permit may or may not be appropriate for that site. There are a lot of factors the first is for the operator and is there gravel and it was tested and it is there. The zoning is appropriate. They have to address the type of roads and the impact on the roadways. There is 180 and there are only 4 places you can cross the river and Alda Road is one of them. It is a good road and zoned properly. 8
