Excerpts of Plan Commission Meeting March 3, 2005 <br /> Cal. No. OS-10 Petition of BRUSH COLLEGE LLC. AND ARCHER <br /> DANIELS MIDLAND COMPANY to rezone the premises <br /> at 4227 East Mound Road from R-1, Single Family <br /> Residence District to M-1 Intense Commercial-Light <br /> Industrial District and to request a Conditional Use Permit <br /> for an Amusement Park to operate the Farm Progress <br /> Show. <br /> Mrs. Joselyn Stewart was sworn in by Ms. Jesse. <br /> Mrs. Stewart gave the recommendation of staff: <br /> The subject property is undeveloped and is currently being used for agriculture <br /> production. The purpose of the rezoning and Conditional Use Permit is to allow for <br /> future improvements to be made for the Farm Progress Show. The event will be held in <br /> years 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2013 on approximately 287 acres. <br /> The petitioner proposes to rezone the property from R-1, Single Family Residence <br /> District to M-1, Intense Commercial-Light Industrial and is also requesting a Conditional <br /> Use Permit that would allow the operation of the Farm Progress Show. <br /> The Farm Progress Show will connect to the City's water system at Brush College Road. <br /> There will also be a minimum of four (4) fire hydrants installed on the site in the general <br /> location of each corner. <br /> Sanitary sewer will be provided by the Sanitary District. Four (4) bathroom facilities will <br /> also be constructed this year. <br /> Access to the site will be from Brush College Road, Mound Road and Rea's Bridge <br /> Road. Parking will be temporary and will not be on a paved surface. <br /> Mound Road will be extended east and other private streets will be developed and <br /> maintained by Macon County Highway Department. <br /> Most of the properties surrounding the site are agriculture in use and located in the <br /> County. ' <br /> Upon review of land use and zoning patterns of the area, staff is of the opinion that the ; <br /> Farm Progress Show will be consistent with the other uses including Richland I <br /> Community College. <br /> The use will be located at a convenient site for the public to access, is compatible with <br /> the area and provides a service which can be utilized by area residents. <br />
