Planning Commission - public_hearing

David, I think you've logged in twice.

This is correct. I was wondering why I couldn't unmute. Thank you for showing forgiveness. I heard that the recording is going on. So, let's start this hearing of Springwater Cemetery on September 10, 2026, case no. Z, Pujam 2-4-6-26. My name is Joe Durner. I am the hearing officer of the county. For everyone to understand how you can participate in the hearing, I will begin some brief introductions and then the introduction of the two activities. Let me start by saying that I am not a county resident. I am a licensed speaker and a planner. I work under the supervision of the Board of Commissioners. I am saying this to let you know that you are getting the freedom of expression in front of me. My job as a hearing officer is to conduct general hearings and make decisions about some environmental issues in Klagomas County. When I make those decisions, I am responsible for applying the county's existing laws. I am not a criminal. I don't have the right to change the laws or to dismiss them. If you feel that you need to change the laws, you can do so with the help of the Board of Commissioners and the Planning Commission. However, the Constitution requires that the law be evaluated on the basis of the laws that were in effect at the time of the application. As a hearing officer, I must be a person who makes decisions without bias. I believe that I am independent in the matter of this application. I have not spoken about the content of the request before the hearing. I do not have any interest in these items or the items around them. Anyone who has the right to ask my opinion and to say that I have an opinion can do so when you have the opportunity to speak. The proceedings are as follows. I will request the staff to collect the reports of the victims. The reports are available on the County website. Next, the applicant will have the opportunity to respond to their instructions and respond to the staff report. Next, if anyone has any questions or concerns about this application, they can do so. If everyone has the opportunity to speak, I will be able to respond to the voices only given by the staff and applicant. If there is new evidence in those statements, I will give everyone the opportunity to respond with new evidence. Otherwise, I will end the hearing and let you know what I am going to do. Usually, after ending the hearings, I will make a decision through the hearing within about two weeks. I will send my decision to the county. The county will send it to the parties in the record. Therefore, before ending the record, I will ensure that those who testify through the hearing or through the hearing will receive a compensation when my decision comes. Anyone who is interested in this request can submit a written testimony. The testimony should be in accordance with the official approval standards stated in the staff report. When you testify, please start by saying your name and full name. If you are representing someone else, please say it. Now I am hearing feedback. It feels like someone has turned off the log and logged in again. It feels like you have to mute your part. Um. Okay, I forgot what I had to say. When you testify, God will start saying your name and full name. To make sure I understand correctly, God will add your last name and letters. If you are representing someone else, God will say that. I have not decided the time limit for you to testify, but your testimony must be in accordance with the rules. If you feel that you need more preparation, you may need to open the record or pause the hearing. If I open the record, you will be able to submit more evidence and evidence before you make a decision. If I pause the hearing, we can meet again the next day. If anyone wishes to open the record or delay the hearing, you must do so before the end of today's hearing. In addition, you must be clear about why you cannot submit the details when the record is opened or the hearing is delayed. Even if the hearing is extended, even if the record is opened for other purposes, the law stipulates that only the applicant must open the record for more than a week to submit a final statement without any new evidence. If the applicant wants, that right can be avoided, but if someone else needs to open the record for other purposes, you must need it before the hearing ends. I have to fix what I said a while ago. I did it in Washington instead of my Odigo name. If anyone wants to open a record or play a hearing, you can do it. I am responsible for allowing it. And there are no restrictions in Odigo. And My decision Another thing is that in this case, I have to make the final decision within 150 days. Therefore, there are some restrictions on how long the hearing can be extended or how long the hearings can be opened. It is important for me to present all your arguments in the best possible way. My decisions are final in the case of the county, but the Land Use Board of Appeals will appeal to this in the future. However, Luba Luba does not usually allow new testimonials or evidence in the appeal section. It will only be on the basis of the hearings in front of me, they will make a decision on the appeal. Therefore, if you think it is important for me or anyone who makes a decision on this issue to know anything, You have to make sure that it is in the lines in front of me. Before closing the lines to fulfill your appeal, you or someone representing you have to give evidence through the line. You have to apologize, not. Also, in a way that everyone can understand what the appeal is, you have to make it clear to me in front of me. And with this, I end my speech. We will have a meeting about online activities and staff reports. When you are ready, Ms. Field.

According to the law, today's hearing is being recorded. Recording is carried out by the county to post on the county's website in the evening time.

As the hearing officer pointed out, we are here today for the hearing of the case of Sadikoye Cemetery Maintenance District Board Member, David Richards, who is an applicant. We have agreed here for the conditional use of the cemetery. As I said earlier, this hearing is being recorded. The cameras of the footage will never be turned on. We want the testimonies from the public. Therefore, please follow my detailed instructions. If you have any more testimonies through Rega, let me know. My email is jeffields at klakamas.us.

Therefore, if you are ending the record today, the email is the best way to write more. Today we are going to talk about a place that is not subject to environmental protection. This is located in the northern part of the Estacada Cemetery located on South Metzler Park Road. This area is located in the Timber Zone. The place where the cemetery is intended to be erected is located in the Timber Zone. This is a land area adjacent to an object in the tect area. But the area used as a cemetery or intended to be used is below 41,000 sq. ft. So this is only a small part of the entire earth. A comment has been received by Pindunachu. I would like to note that the fire department has no objections to this and that they have announced it to us. Therefore, it is also a note in the file. I request the staff to approve this. This application will be fully approved on July 7, 2026. The deadline to make the decision is December 24, 2026, on Christmas Eve. In the application, an application has been sent to a site plan that shows an easement area that allows the use of cemeteries in the northern part of the site. The participants could not read the square footage from the submittal, so they turned to the pre-application conference conducted by this applicant, because there was a clear square foot in the same site plan. That's why it was the same survey. It was submitted at the pre-application conference. It's a reggae. It has been published in the staff report. Today, we are examining the conditional use using the 202 provisions of the zoning code. The special institutional use includes cemeteries. The reason for the tract is that the new cemeteries in section 808 of our zoning code need at least 50 acres. This is a new cemetery, because this is a new cemetery used in a new facility. Since this is an easement, it is not a specification of a non-conforming use. We are examining the conditional use of the timber zone property for new use. So this is a strange coincidence, because the cemetery located in the south of the teck area is being expanded to the northern part of the property. The northern part of the property is 30 acres, but since the teck part of the property is a tract, the total area of that tract is more than 50 acres. Thus, it meets 808 requirements. There is a condition that the walls should be at least 30 feet from any general path. Therefore, a system has been suggested in the staff report to ensure that the 108th section is maintained. As I mentioned earlier, cemeteries are a conditional use in the timber zone. It is 40605A1. This is a farm and forest impact test. This is to ensure the safety of the fire department and to promote this use. Fire department officials' life and safety concerns Since the fire department has no feedback, the staff found that there is no possibility of fire because the cemetery is spread to the north. Farm and Forest Imbatt report has been issued, showing that agriculture and forest management in the surrounding areas will not be affected. Farm and Forest Imbatt report has been issued, showing that agriculture and forest management in the surrounding areas will not be affected. Farm and Forest Imbatt report has been issued, showing that agriculture and forest management in the surrounding areas will not be affected. Staff found that this site is not suitable for residential use. Reason The use of cemeteries is growing rapidly. The road in the area is intended to be used. Looking at the aerial picture, there is a parking lot in the cemetery where the maintenance workers who work there are needed. There are no offices or buildings there. By using this, it was announced that there would be no riots in the area. Therefore, the residents found that this was not in line with the concurrency because it was a violation, and that this was in line with Section 1007. According to our zoning code's conditional use section, the intended use should not change the nature of the surrounding area or prevent or prohibit the primary uses of the surrounding areas. The primary uses of surrounding items are agriculture and agriculture. so that it does not affect the way agriculture and agriculture are managed, and that there will be no hindrance to the primary uses of the surrounding items, said the resident of Vileyruthi. The construction of the building has not been stopped, and the construction of the building has not been stopped. The construction of the building has not been stopped. The construction of the building has not been stopped. Even though this is a one-up plan, and even though Timbal Sowning District has requested conditional use, the residents found that this is in line with the goals and principles of the plan. As I mentioned, Section 808 of the Tract Act complies with this requirement. Vastu Udamakki Tekku Bagathulla Stalawam Swandhamayi Unda, Adhu Section 808, Inde Aavashivathagal Niravettinu. Aayiram Ennam Staff Reportil Vileiruthiit Unda. E Ubeyogatthe Tadayinnadho Ellengil Ubeyogam Vazhi Baadhikkapedinnadho Aaya Prakridithadha Savisheshathagal Onnum Illa. Nirdeeshikkapetta Stalatha Urulputtal Saadhithagal O Kuthani Ulla Cheruvgalo Illa. This object has not been identified as a historical monument or a historical site. The walls have not been removed. Therefore, the appearance of the walls is not present. Moreover, outdoor lighting has not been removed. Therefore, the lighting has not been removed here since 2005. Utilities have not been removed because there are no facilities in the area where the office facilities or the living room are located. Roads and connectivity have been investigated by the Department of Engineering recently. They said that it is necessary to make a decision whether new road or driveway permits are required to enter Vipulikarana Meghalaya. The existing road development is going to Meghalaya, so it is not necessary to renovate it. However, the Gathagatha Engineering Department is eager to continue with this project. There is no need for a reduced landscape for the conditional uses of the timber zone in the 19th century. The residents found that the use of the cemetery was not necessary due to the lack of lighting, noise and noise. Then this 30-acre building is now a tree in the north because there are trees. The board was not intended to be built here. If any boards are being built in Bavi, it should be in accordance with zoning code 1010. But no boards have been erected in this developed area. There is no indication that this site is a hidden place. For parking and unloading of goods, road blocks on the road must be maintained. But if the path in the north to the cemetery in the TEC area is not covered and if the number of accidents is not increased, the parking space in the state will be enough. I don't think there will be any landmines or recyclable landmines through this use. Anyone have any questions?

There are two questions. The object is the Escanaba Cemetery Board, but this is called Spring Water Cemetery on the board of the existing cemetery. It may be a question to be asked to the object, but is this Spring Water Cemetery the head of the object's decision? Is that right? I'll leave that to the object, but... Okay. Another question. According to the second law, this should be implemented within four years, right? That's an ordinary system. But how will this use be implemented? They are not doing anything else other than changing the weather, right?

They have announced that they will start cutting grass in Abekshi. Is that enough?

It would have been better if the plants were planted in a well-developed place, but I'm not sure if the researchers have any plans for that now. Because there are no fences there.

Yes.

The Department of Engineering has said there is no need for roadmachers. Yes, that is a general rule. The rule is that the use of more facilities within four years and not within five years is impossible. Therefore, it is up to the inspectors to decide. We can immediately ask the inspectors if they can submit a record to the county.

They can submit a record like this. If we remove the fence and say that this is part of our cemetery, it will be enough for the county. If you make it a reality, it will not be a problem for 10 to 30 years.

It will be a major increase in the general situation of acceptance. If they start cutting grass, I think they have incorporated it as part of the cemetery management process. Okay.

I can add anything related to that in the second section. Thank you. That was the only thing I had to ask. Mr. Richards, I understand that you represent the ambassador. That's right. Superbatham. Superbatham. Yes, you have it. I am the owner of the item. I am the owner. Don Smith, the owner of the item, took this opportunity to give this to the Escasito Cemetery Maintenance District, which is the birthplace of Springwater Cemetery. Okay. I think you have checked the staff report. Are there any problems related to the regulations? No, sir. We agree with what is being said here. Okay. This is Springwater Cemetery, right? That's right. Since the Eskatababa Cemetery was built in the direction of the maintenance special district, that's right. Okay. Thank you. Before anyone else comes, do you have anything to add? I don't think anyone else will be there, but to make sure. Okay, if anyone else has anything to say about this event, please raise your hand and click the button. I think only the county staff is here. So I'm not expecting anyone, but I'll wait. I don't see anyone. Does the county have anything else to say? Ms. Fields, you are muted. No. Okay, I thought so. I just wanted to check. Mr. Richards, you have the right to submit a statement without any new evidence in the form of an appeal. Do you want to use that right? Yes, sir. I use that right. I don't think we need to discuss any other issue with the county now. Okay, thank you. That's why I'm ending the record. With the permission of the county to hand over the land that was used for this project within four years and to hand over the land to the county, which has been relocated, I accept this request in accordance with the regulations in the staff report. The county can determine that this is part of our cemetery. This will help to avoid problems related to this regulation in the future. That's how our hearing ends. In two weeks, I will make a decision based on my decision. I will send it to the county. The county will send it to the related departments. So, that hearing ends there. Thank you. Have a good afternoon. Shubha Dinam.
