Bird Cupps moved and Jeff Anderson seconded a motion to approve the minutes of the Land Use Committee meeting held on January 8, 2025 , as presented. Motion carried. 3. Diane Erb, 1514 Sutter Rd – review revised CSM to rezone (2) lots from FP -35 to RR-4, site plans for residences and driveways. The Committee reviewed the discussion held at the site view on March 1. The applicants presented a revised map that was requested during the site v iew. The revision modifies the northern border of Lot 2 to exclude the field road , moves t he proposed residence closer to Sutter Road, and creates a shorter driveway. The Committee agrees that the new driveway location provides a better approach from Sutter Road and will maintain full access to the agricultural fields via the field road. Committee members discussed Lot 1, located south of Lot 2, and expressed no concerns, observing that the site location and driveway were appropriate. The soils present on both proposed lots conform to the criteria outlined in the Land Use Plan. The Committee also reviewed two letters submitted by John Wiggins of Wiggins Family Farms, LLC, in which he expressed his objections to the zoning changes due to his concerns about the accuracy of the survey lines. Jeff Anderson moved , and Phoebe Blackman seco nded the motion to recommend approval of the 7.5-acre zoning change from FP -35 to RR -4, site plan, and driveway for Lot 1; and the 7.5-acre zoning change from FP-35 to RR- 4, revised site plan, and revised driveway for Lot 2 as submitted. Motion carried. 4. Wayne & Millicent Brattrud, 1187 County Rd JG – zoning change for existing residence from FP-35 to RM-16. The Committee reviewed the observations and discussions held during the site visit. The proposed zoning change would rezone the existing residence on 23.21 acres, while 54.60 acres would remain agricultural land and be sold to an adjoining landowner.
