Arnold Woolstenhulme, Victor AOI resident, appreciated the work being done by the Board. He stated that the decision about the Area of Impact is the County's alone, not the City of Victor. The City of Victor has not let non-City residents to participate in the process. He would like the County to take more time in evaluating the proposal and allowing more input from effected residents.
Ted Wells, asked if the zoning would change on his lot because of this change in the AOI. The Board responded that if his properties were annexed, then the use could change.
Todd Woolstenhulme, wondered why his zoning would change to ten acres.
Christian Cisco, Chairman of Victor P & Z Commission, stated that the City of Victor has been forced to take in non-compliant subdivision. They are trying to prevent that happening in the future. Properties in the AOI can bring a density proposal to the City of Victor whenever they want.
Public comment was closed at 3:42 PM.
Board deliberation. The Board discussed the process going forward. Some of the boundary changes that were suggested are worth considering. The Board recognized that there is a lot to consider, and it should be continued to a Special Meeting.
The Board commented that the County asked the City to put forth a proposal because the City knows where it wants to grow. The Board was surprised that the zones proposed in the AOI are not in alignment with current County zones.
