~ Resolution No. PC-94-41 was entered recommending approval of Case RZ-94-4, as motioned. Regarding the letters of opposition, Chairman Wright feels the conditions of approval provide the neighbors more security than what is afforded citizens with nuisance neighbors. With the seclusion of the Cameron's house and the general public accessing the park entrance, he questions the effectiveness of a Neighborhood Watch Program. The issue of additional crime seems to be mitigated by the description of the up-scale guests. Adequate parking is thoroughly covered in the staff report. Commissioner Hovingh feels crime is more of an issue with the local teenagers going up to the water tower than with the bed and breakfast guests and noted the for sale signs also invite additional people into the neighborhood. Overall, Commissioner Hovingh feels the bed and breakfast is a good addition. Commissioner Barker would like to add a condition restricting another bed and breakfast on Longview because she is concerned about maintaining the integrity and characteristic of the neighborhood. Chairman Wright advised that the Commissioner cannot add such a condition onto the Camerons conditional use permit. Mr. Swift advised that there were two options: State for the record that there should be no other bed and breakfasts allowed on Longview Drive or .~ modify the code by setting a specific distance to be maintained between every bed and breakfast establishment, rather than leaving it on a case-by-case basis. A discussion ensued regarding whether a limitation of the number of bed and breakfast establishments should be added. Commissioner Hovingh stated that if they supported not allowing more bed and breakfasts on Longview, then all types of businesses and in-home offices should be restricted as well. A motion was made by Chainnan Wright, seconded by Commissioner Hovingh, making the conditional use pennit fmdings and approving Case UP-94-S6 subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit B, with the following modification: Delete Condition 11.
