Williams called on Nathaniel Feddes, Planning Technician to present the item. He told the commissioners that the applicant (Reuben Martin) was a no show for tonight, so he told the commissioners they had the option of postponing the first two items until the next meeting, or if they wished to hear it or not. Nathaniel also told the commissioners that based on the publication statues from the state, they would not be able to hear it till July 2 d • It will be re-published and notices will be sent to property owners within 100 ft. Chairman S. Williams called on the commissioners for their decision. Commissioner D. Crawford suggested that it would be informative if they had a feeling of what the community around the area is like in case the commissioner(s) were unable to attend. Chairman S. Williams said, they were well aware of the surrounding area. Chairman S. Williams made the decision to open it up for public comment since there were 4 individuals with concerns. Mr. Orlando Tapia approached the podium with the concern of the zone change. If the zone change is approved, what will be allowed in that property? Nathaniel Feddes said, with the zone change, there is a designated use which will be very specific to what they have applied for, which is an open air market. There is nothing else they can do until they change the designated use permit. Mr. Tapia asked, how long has this open air market been going on there? Nathaniel said, in 2009 there was a conditional use permit which is indefinite as long as it keeps the same use. Mr. Tapia said, he called the Village and he was told that they didn’t have a permit. Mr. Tapia’s concern is that they are using the bathroom in the back, they didn’t have a toilet back there, now they do. That was their concern. Chairman S. Williams did tell them those concerns will be addressed. She told Mr. Tapia that they have to have adequate facilities restrooms, lighting, parking, etc. Those will be addressed on July 2, when they act on it. Commissioner W. Baca asked if they were parking on Hwy 47? Mr. Tapia said no, people are constantly driving in and out of there. Jolaine Padilla, approached the podium to state her concerns. Her concern was they have had to call law enforcement in twice for a lot of issues such using the restroom on their property and people driving into the property in the middle of the night & walking around. Private property signs have been put up as recommended by law enforcement but people are still coming on to their property from Mr. Martin’s property. She said, many times she has to be alone with her son and that was another concern she had safety issues. David Padilla also came up and wanted to know if there was a specific location for placing port-a-pots. He said, right now it’s on our driveway and I lock the gate at night. Nathaniel said, that was something that will be addressed for the designated use. There has to be a plan submitted and it can be approved or disapproved. Chairman S. William’s inclination is to reschedule this so that these concerns may be addressed properly, and that the applicant and adjoining neighbors understand. Commissioner W. Baca agreed with Chairman Williams. Chairman S. Williams called on a decision. Commissioner W. Baca made a motion to postpone this that he go through the re-application process and go from there.
