Leslie Cook.Ron Johnson appeared on behalf of Leslie Cook, stating that Mr. Cook would like to rezone
this property to develop. The Committee reviewed the aerial map. There are two major subdivisions to
the north of the parcel, and the adjoining property to the east is zoned ag/residential. There was a
discussion held on the roads if this becomes a subdivision. Fisher stated that the developer would have to
comply with all subdivision requirements pertaining to roads and would go through the subdivision
review process as required. The Town of Somerset recommended approval of the rezoning request. The
request complies with the Town and County Plan. There was no opposition to this request.Fisher
reviewed the staff report. The hearing was closed. A decision will be made later. This will be scheduled
for December 19,2000.
Manual A. and Elizabeth Villafana. Bruce Pankonin, Quest Development,and Bob Wall,Attorney,
represented the Villafanas. The request is to downzone a large commercial property,formerly the Birch
Park Ski Resort,in the Town of St. Joseph to Ag/Residential, and to develop a subdivision.Villafanas
will sell to Quest,contingent upon rezoning and an approved subdivision plat. The applicant would like
to have the rezoning and the plat looked at simultaneously. The subdivision is 49 single family lots on
203 acres. They will be adding approximately 50 acres to this 147 acres. They are very aware of the
uniqueness of the property, and will comply with whatever the county requires.
Brian Stadler,221 County Road E; Shawn Peters,220 County Road E; and Donna Davis,County Road E;
landowners near this property, spoke of traffic problems They believe additional traffic would make
things much worse. They claimed there have been numerous accidents. Discussion was held on
conducting a"warrants analysis"traffic study. The applicant agreed to look into one. The Committee
reminded the neighbors that there is the possibility of a lot more traffic if this commercial site is
developed rather than becoming residential. Fisher went over the favorable staff report. St. Joseph
