SPECIAL USE PERMIT/MR. A. G. SMALL - The applicant withdrew an

representing Countryside Land Company, submitted a final plat to divide
100.025 acres into 13 lots ranging in size from 4.522 to 1.633 acres.
The property is located on Tye River Road.  The Commission had reviewed
the final plat and held a public hearing at their November meeting with
a vote to postpone a decision to allow the applicant to submit the
required information to the Health Department.  Mr. Saunders noted that
the report has been submitted and is under review by the Health
Department.  Commissioners voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the final
plat.

SITE PLAN/NELSON COUNTY SERVICE AUTHORITY - Ms. Julia Skare, Draper Aden
Associates, presented a site plan for a new office facility
(approximately 3,000 sq ft) to be constructed at the end of Cooperative
Way in the Colleen Industrial Park.  The building will be located on a
two-acre parcel.  Mr. Boger reported that E&S approval is pending; VDOT
has noted their requirements for the entrance; and that landscaping,
lighting and sign plans must be submitted for review prior to final
approval of the site plan.  Ms. Skare presented a revised site plan
showing a new location for the entrance to the site to meet VDOT
requirements and showing the proposed lighting, which will be similar to
the electric cooperative's lighting.  With no public comment,
Commissioners voted 5-0 to approve the site plan with two contingencies:

1. compliance with VDOT and E&S requirements; and
2. receipt and approval of the landscaping and signage plans by the
Planning Director.

Meeting adjourned.
