Mr. Frazier complained that the new zoning ordinance had been adopted without provision for a grace period for those who thought they were working under the old land use regulations. That’s like changing the rules for one team in the ninth inning of the last World Series game, he charged. “You’ve got to have a grace period!”

“In essence, a new ball season began when we enacted the new zoning ordinance,” countered Supervisor Henry. He added, however, that the board is sympathetic to Mr. Frazier’s situation. “We want to do everything we can to help.”

Supervisor Miller added that if the special exception is granted for the subdivision WITHOUT the required public hearings, any nearby limdowner could bring an injunction to stop the land division.

The supervisors voted to schedule a joint public hearing on Mr. Frazier’s special exception application at the Planning Commission’s meeting Feb. 18 and to defer payment of his $75 permit application fee.

“Do you want to do it this way?" asked Supervisor Charles Estes.

“Provided I still have a house by then,” Mr. Frazier answered.

“I think you proceeded in good faith, Mr. Frazier, but I think you proceeded in bad judgement,” concluded Supervisor Miller.
