Krebser suggested that the co-op wait six months until the county’s new comprehensive plan is adopted before pursuing the rezoning. Approval of the rezoning “sets a considerable precedent," said Krebser, adding that the co-op was not “that hard pressed" for the land.
Mary Jane Swift also proposed that the rezoning request be either denied or postponed until after adoption of the comprehensive plan.
Adjacent landowner Ted Wallsworth stated that he didn't understand why the commercial rezoning was necessary for the co-op to pursue its business plans. He also asked if the planned use for the property, as stated by the co-op, was binding should the rezoning be approved.
According to Fletcher, it was the “general consensus" of the planning commissioners that the co-op could not use the land it plans to buy from Judge Snead for agricultural storage unless the property is first rezoned to commercial. Citing “applicable state and federal law," Fletcher said a sale takes place where materials are delivered, not where the ticket is written. Therefore, he argued, the storage area where products are handed over to the buyer is an extension of the co-op’s retail store and thus requires commercial zoning. r Otherwise, be said, the co-op would be guilty of using property zoned agricultural for commercial purposes.
In response to Wallsworth, Fletcher said the tentative plan for the 9.66 acres is not binding and was submitted by the co-op management at the request of the planning commission to give the planners only a “general idea” of possible uses for the property.
