Director Stamey reviewed the staff report confirming that the note concerning no outdoor storage was added to the plat, eleven parking spaces have been provided per standards, access widths have been indicated, the slope of the driveways has been improved, however it remains a concern for large vehicles, the driveway should be delineated by removing the large gravel area and seeded with grass, and the bike path should be overlayed with asphalt 8' wide and 1%" thick. Les Beery expressed concern with potential liability issues for work performed or improvements made on adjacent State property. Director Stamey confirmed other developments have been required to perform similar improvements along state highways—the State has confirmed they have no objection to the re-seeding, however, an access permit is required. Mr. Beery confirmed the Applicant was willing to perform the work if a precedent had been established. Public comment was heard from David Habecker who stated that this application is not the best use of the land. Commissioner concerns included the steepness relative to inclement weather. Mr. Kielb noted that the average slope has been verified at 12.9%; the north/south driveways will be at 12% slope; the east/west drive is 8% cross slope; and the Applicant has a snow-plowing plan to clear the site.

As required by conditional approval, Tom Hall/Owner and Tim Resch/Livery Supervisor presented a progress report on the carriage ride operation. Operators have received positive comments. Commissioner A. Hix noted that traffic is impeded at the curve near Stanley Village, and Commissioner Amos commented that ^the carriage ''straddles" the line preventing vehicular traffic from passing where sufficient leeway is available, and an alternate route should be considered. Commissioner Burgess commented that the carriage is not contributing to the "bottleneck" of vehicular traffic and that positive publicity has been derived from the operation. Bill Van Horn stated he had heard a number of favorable comments and that the ride is in character and should be encouraged. Director Stamey confirmed he was unaware of any major problems of the horse rides. Stating the owner has operated the carriage ride within the parameters of th& original intent, encouraging the owner to stay to the right of the traffic lane whenever possible, and that the Commission will continue to further observe the operation, tt was seco“ded (?ohl/Burgess) the progress report be accepted into the record and it passed unanimously.
