Chris Saunders presented the Staff Report noting the application was in conjunction with an annexation and the County was in the process of finishing the approval of a Final Plat on
the property. He noted the location of the proposal and adjacent zoning districts, both in the City and the County jurisdictions, the County being primarily zoned for agricultural uses.
He noted Staff had reviewed the application and provided the findings in the Staff Report. He stated Staff recommended favorably on the application. He noted on a map where the subject
property was located and adjacent land use designations. He stated there had been no formal public comment submitted though there had been members of the public reviewing the file at
the office. He stated he would be happy to answer any questions.

property. He noted they were also in the process of doing a minor subdivision within County jurisdiction and they would be before the County Commission for final approval within the
