BOARD OF FRANKLIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
The Board of Commissioners met in a regular session with Commissioners Charles W. Mavity, Jr. and Bill Ogle present.
The meeting was called to order by Commissioner Mavity at 9:15 a.m.
Chairman Weigand arrived at 9:20.
Merle Haas in about zoning Peoria Township. He wants what benefits the community as a whole. Concerns about his property in Peoria Township being zoned A-3 with special use permits, if he sold would not be able to pass on permits.
Chairman Weigand signed purchase order 971694 to Creed for 44" T & S Wash down hose in the amount of $96.48.
Dennis George, Mary and Jim Braun present for building codes and zoning of Hayes and Williamsburg Townships.
Commissioner Ogle moved not to zone Hayes Township at this time. He believes they don’t what it at this time. Died for lack of second.
Chairman Weigand made a statement that in the last two weeks approximately 180 people have attended meetings to discuss the issue of zoning Williamsburg, Hayes and Peoria Townships. At those meetings it was apparent that zoning continues to be a misunderstood issue. The majority have a concern that government continues to encroach more and more into our everyday lives. Some of the issues discussed that did not relate to zoning, but were used as examples of government interference were: septic system regulations, building permits and building codes. Government does have responsibility in maintaining a clean water supply, therefore we have a sanitary code and rules for disposing of our waste water and how septic systems should be designed and built. This is upsetting to some, but has nothing to do with zoning. Building permits for the entire county were approved several months ago, they have nothing to do with zoning. The commissioners felt that building permits were important in protecting the taxpayers of the county by enabling the commissioners to have knowledge of development locations so that set backs from right of way requirements and the continued building on minimum maintenance roads that cause future problems both to the county and to the builder. We should be able to use our land however we want to use our land is always an argument. Zoning does not change how we use our land. Only if we change the use do we have to get agreement from our neighbors through the rezoning or non conforming use process. In my opinion that is a more democratic process than surprising your neighbors with some use that may cause them anxiety and a loss of property values. Because I believe that our citizens will not be adversely affected by zoning and that we have the responsibility to protect our property values for future generations by planning for that future now, I will moved for the zoning of Williamsburg and Hayes Townships today. Seconded by Commissioner Mavity. Passed by 2-1 vote with Commissioner Ogle opposed.
Chairman Weigand and Commissioner Mavity signed Resolution 97-56 including Hayes Township within the Zoning Regulations of Franklin County, Kansas. The Franklin County Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the 20th day of November 1997 and adopted a resolution recommending to the Board of County Commissioners that it amend the Zoning Regulations of Franklin County, Kansas to include all of the unincorporated area of Hayes Township within the Zoning Regulations of Franklin County, Kansas, and further, that all parcels within Hayes Township be zoned as Agricultural District, A-3, as provided in the Zoning Regulations of Franklin County, Kansas.
Chairman Weigand and Commissioner Mavity signed Resolution 97-57 including Williamsburg Township within the Zoning Regulations of Franklin County, Kansas. The Franklin County Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the 20th day of November 1997 and adopted a resolution recommending to the Board of County Commissioners that it amend the Zoning Regulations of Franklin County, Kansas to include all of the unincorporated area of Williamsburg Township within the Zoning Regulations of Franklin County, Kansas, and further, that all parcels within Williamsburg Township be zoned as Agricultural District, A-3, as provided in the Zoning Regulations of Franklin County, Kansas.
Chairman Weigand made a statement that the arguments for building codes are: 1) Level the playing field for contractors in the bidding process, 2) future users will be in less danger of inadequate footings, foundations, electrical wiring and workmanship and, 3) a minimum standard of construction should provide a safe structure. The arguments against building codes are: 1) Government bureaucrats always looking over our shoulder, 2) Added expense, 3) Slower pace of construction, 4) Government should not have to protect everyone from everything. In my opinion all of the above arguments are correct. However, I will support the adoption of building codes in Franklin County, because of safety issues, because of the unaware home owners, and the level playing field for builders. I pray that we can put together the bureaucracy that can smooth the path as much as possible and be sensitive to the interference issues.
Commissioner Mavity moved and Chairman Weigand seconded to adopt resolution 97-58 regulating the fabrication, erection, construction, enlargement, alteration, movement, location and use of detached one and two family dwellings, their appurtenances and accessory structures within the unincorporated territory of Franklin County, Kansas and provisions for the issuance of permits and penalties for violation of this resolution. The Board of County Commissioners resolved that the Council of American Building Officials, One and Two Family Dwelling Code, 1995 Edition by reference by adopted for the entire jurisdiction of Franklin County, Kansas, see resolution for additions, omission, and amendments. This resolution shall take effect and be in force on February 1, 1998. All voted “yes.”

Chairman Weigand signed contract for Architectural/Engineering Services (cost plus net fee agreement) for project No. 30 TE-0094-01 TEA 009(401) Transportation Enhancement Project, AT&SF Depot Restoration, Franklin County, Kansas.
Dan, Richard,and Brent Fogle, of Tauy Creek Land, Inc., John Killough, of Killough Construction, Inc., Kenneth and Almeda Edwards, Bill Gahan, vice-president of Martin Marietta Aggregates, and Ron Bowdenson, of Shook, Hardy, & Bacon, attorney for Tauy Creek Land, Inc., in to discuss Fogle Quarry, located east of U.S. 59 north of Sand Creek Road.
Dan Fogle said that Fogle Quarry has been in the business for 70 years in County, one of the largest quarrying operations in the State. Ten years ago, Fogle began a search for a new location and chose the location north of Ottawa. After giving the Board a summary of events leading up to zoning of the current operation north of town, Fogle turned the floor over to Ron Bowdenson, whom he hired about two months ago to check the zoning issues before he attempted to sell the property. Property is in the process of being sold to Martin-Marietta.
Bowdenson stated that in 1994, Fogle applied for rezoning of Tauy Creek property to I-1 (Industrial), to include special use permit for operations related to quarrying, and specifically requested asphalt processing in the application. The application was received by then planning director, Peter F. Nicholson, who insisted that Tauy Creek submit request for rezoning to A-2 (Agricultural Transistional) vice I-1. Public notice was then given and all legal requisites were met. The application went through the zoning process and the property was, in fact, zoned A-2, and the special use was granted. Rezoning was approved in a County Commissioners’ Resolution dated June 30, 1994.
Chairman Weigand asked for comment from County Attorney. Latter stated that he had examined all county materials available in planning office files. It was his opinion that the reason Pete Nicholson insisted on A-2 instead of I-1 was to preserve best interest of county in the rezoning. Further, he agreed that all notice requirements had been met. Problem arose when, unfortunately, Mr. Nicholson died on day of public hearing before the Planning Commission. When resolution was submitted to Board of Commissioners, it did not specifically mention asphalt operations, but rather eluded to “related operations.” Intent, however, was to include those items included in the application, which did include ashpalt processing. It was his opinion that, therefore, the Tauy Creek operations were legal.
Chairman Weigand stated that was in the best interest of County to ratify prior county actions and find that land was, in fact, rezoned A-2 with special use permit, to include provision for asphalt operations.
Chairman Weigand moved and Commissioner Ogle seconded to reaffirm acts of Pete Nicholson; further, that zoning process was in conformity with zoning regulations and that quarry special use permit including asphalt plants and other related operation as per intent at Tauy Creek Land Company. All voted “yes.”
After some discussion, Chairman Weigand moved to recommend to planning director that the Certificate of Occupancy, which should have been issued to Tauy Creek in 1994, be issued now. Further, that since quarry machinery and asphalt plant are considered personalty by assessor, that a building permit for batch processor be issued on a one-time basis and that quarry and asphalt operations be permitted to move about the area zoned for such operations without necessity of any further permit(s). Seconded by Commissioner Ogle. All voted “yes.”
Chairman Weigand moved and Commissioner Mavity seconded to approve abated orders 1410-1412 in the amount of $147.51. All voted “yes.” Commissioner Ogle absent.
Chairman Weigand moved and Commissioner Mavity seconded to approve refund order 292 in the amount of $77.26. All voted “yes.” Commissioner Ogle absent.

Chairman Weigand signed purcahse order 971862 to the Franklin County Treasurer for the first half of the real estate taxes for 1997 on the property were the tower is located in the amount of $193.76.
Chairman Weigand moved and Commissioner Ogle seconded to approve purchase order 972437 to Mace Bulk Transport for salt and sand in the amount of $940.00. All voted “yes.”
