PUBLIC HEARING

COUNTY COMMISSION HEARING ROOM
TANEY COUNTY COURTHOUSE

Call to Order:
Chairman Shawn Pingleton called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m . A quorum
was established with eight members present. They were: Shawn Pingleton, Rick Treese,
Randy Haes, Ray Edwards, Dave Stewart, Steve Adams, Rick Caudill, and Ronnie
Melton. Staff present: Bob Atchley and Bonita Kissee.

Mr. Atchley read a statement outlining the procedures for the meeting and
presented the exhibit.

Public Hearing:
VonAllmen Mini Storage: a request by Lee VonAllmen, for construction of a
mini-storage facility located at 1600 Sycamore Church Road. Mr. Atchley read the staff
report and presented pictures and a video of the site. The applicant was present to
address questions from the Commission and public. Phil Lopez, who manages
Commerce Park, voiced opposition to the request because his development is adjacent
to this request and he was concerned about the removal of trees. He stated that he
does not plan to remove any more trees in the Commerce Park than necessary. He
stated that he had notified the applicant and wanted to work with him on maybe selling
him some property so the storage project could be developed on his property instead.
Jim Lawson, planning director for the City of Branson, presented a power point
presentation stating concerns regard ing setting precedence, location, compatibility, tree
removal, sewer and water. The City feels that when the remainder of the property is
developed, the property owners will want to hook to City water and sewer and will be
required to annex. This type of development does not comply with City regulations
according to Mr. Lawson who also pointed out that next door to the property the
residential development would have trouble selling lots, in his opinion. Mr. Pingleton
reminded, that in the County an applicant must ask for the maximum plan regarding
their project. Mr. Allmen stated that he and his siblings want to comply with whatever
the County requires. He reported on a conversation with Mr. Lopez, who offered to sell
him property in the Commerce Park subdivision, rather than building the storage units
where he has planned. He also stated that Mr. Lopez said that he was not opposed to
the request. Mr. All men pointed out that the location of the units is level and would not
have to be "stair-stepped" as Mr. Lawson stated. He wants to build a nice facility and to
fit into the neighborhood. Mr. Pingleton reported that in the past the Planning
Commission has had commercial requests abutting residential subdivisions, and that the
Code requires buffering. He suggested a wood privacy fence on the south side. Mr.
Stewart asked how the build out would occur. Mr. Allmen stated that the plans were to
build as needed. Mr. Caudill pointed out that there is plenty of vegetative buffering
around the property that most of the units would not be visible to the residences. Mr.
Haes asked about a stormwater runoff plan. Mr. Atchley stated that is a stipulation of
the Decision of Record and must be turned in before construction permits are issued.
Mr. Haes stated that the runoff should be controlled to the south. Mr. Pingleton
suggested that the applicant meet with the staff regarding runoff. With no other
discussion the public hearing was closed. This project will proceed to final vote next
week.

Old and New Business:
Mr. Atchley reported that the County Commission will vote on the subdivision
regulations and code amendments this Thursday, July 12, 2012.

Adjournment:
With no other business on the agenda for July 9, 2012 the meeting adjourned at

COUNTY COMMISSION HEARING ROOM

Call to Order:
Vice-Chairman Rick Treese called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. A quorum
was established with seven members present. They were: Rick Caudill, Dave Stewart,
Rick Treese, Randy Haes, Ray Edwards, Ronnie Melton, Steve Adams. Staff present:
Bob Atchley and Bonita Kissee.

Mr. Atchley read a statement outlining the procedures for the meeting and
presented the exhibits.

Review and Action:
Minutes: June 2012, with no additions or corrections a motion was made by
Ronnie Melton to approve the minutes as written. Seconded by Rick Caudill. The vote to
approve the minutes was unanimous.

Final Vote:
VonAllmen Mini Storage: request to construct mini storage units located at 1600
Sycamore Church Road. Mr. Atchley clarified the request, and read the decision of
record. Mr. Stewart asked if an addition could be added to the decision of record that if
the applicant requires water and sewer, that the applicant shall connect to Branson
Municipal Sewer and Water District #3. Mr. Treese asked about the placement of the
fence. Mr. Von All men stated that he would use 25' of the property as a buffer. A
building will need to be shortened to comply with the buffer. Mr. Caudill asked if the
applicant could put an opaque fence next to the residential subdivision. Mr. Edwards
discussed compatibility. Discussion followed regarding commercial use being down the
road from this request. Mr. Adams discussed moving the entrance back. Mr. Haes
stated that some clearing would need to be done at the entrance for the site distance.
The rest could be left for buffering purposes. Further discussion followed. Mr. Allmen
asked for clarification on the fence. The Commission stated that it wouldn't be
necessary for a wood fence in the back. There will be an addition to the decision of
record that the opaque fence will join the wood fence joining the residential areas. Also
there will be an addition to the decision of record regarding the entrance and how deep
into the property the gate will be. Discussion fol lowed regarding allowing visibility in the
front. A motion was made by Rick Caudi ll to approve based upon the decision of record
as written. Dave Stewart seconded . The vote to approve was unanimous.

Concepts:
Hill Haven : a request by Greg Smith to use the existing single family dwelling as
a weekly rental located at 1662 Hill Haven Road . Bob Paulson representing the
applicant explained the request. He stated that the applicant is trying to sell the
property and in the mean time rent out the property as nightly rental. Mr. Paulson
pointed out that there are a lot of nightly rentals in the area which have not been
permitted . Mr. Treese asked how many residential properties surround the site. Mr.
Atchley stated that there are a few very large scale homes in the area and there is
vacant land between them. Mr. Atchley pointed out that the wastewater system might
not be large enough to accommodate a large number of people. Mr. Paulson stated that
if it was big enough for a large family it could accommodate the renting of the property
in his opinion. Mr. Stewart stated that some are not sized for a surge in the flow, and
wanted to know what kind of system was installed . Mr. Paulson will find out and get
back to the Commission on that. With no other questions, this project will proceed to
public hearing next month. Mr. Paulson wil l have answers regarding, number of
bedrooms, parking, use of dock space, and type of wastewater treatment.

Happy Hollow Community Dock Association, LLC: a request to create public
parking for an existing boat dock for at least 2 vehicles located at Lot 31 Williams Point
Subdivision off Happy Hollow Road. Mr. Haney explained the request and stated that
the Corps of Engineers will not issue a permit until they get Planning Commission
approval. In his opinion there will be little or no one parking in the lot, because it is a
small dock and the people who use it live there. This is not a commercial dock. Mr.
Atchley reported that a permit was previously issued for the original parking lot. Mr.
Caudill and Mr. Haes pointed out that since an entrance to the lot will come off a
County Road a permit should be issued by the road department. With no other
questions, this project will proceed to public hearing next month.

Old and New Business:
Mr. Atchley updated the Commission on the previous meeting and upcoming
County Commission meeting regarding the subdivision regulations.

Adjournment:

Mr. Bob Atchley
Administrator
Taney County Planning Commission
207 David Street
Forsyth, MO. 65653

Re : Branson Eco View LLC. -Zip-Line Attraction

Dear Mr. Atchley:

We are pleased to present to you the following description of our project. Our proposed Zip-
Line Attraction offers an exciting addition to the Branson lakefront that is environmentally
friendly and that holds mass appeal for visitors of all ages. Additionally, it will showcase Lake
Taneycomo and the Branson Landing area in a unique and memorable way. Our proposed
attraction will provide diversification to the Branson Landing experience and will contribute to
the continued draw of Branson as a top-tier family vacation destination.

Project Scope: Our non-invasive and aesthetically pleasing project would include three distinct
experiences: a leisurely chair lift ride across Lake Taneycomo originating from the Branson
Landing; an observation deck along the eastern shore bluff; and an exciting zip line back to the
Branson Landing. Collectively, these activities appeal to all ages and most demographics. Our
physical structures are to be located at the Branson Landing, next to what was The Macaroni
Grill restaurant, and on land across the lake from the Branson Landing atop the bluff north of
the Candlestick Inn, and identified in our application. It is not necessary for any structures or
supports to be located in the flowline of Lake Taneycomo nor near the shoreline of Lake
Taneycomo. All supports and structures would be placed above the 720' elevation level.
Customer access is entirely at the Branson Landing. All customers will park at the Branson
Landing parking areas. Tickets will be sold/purchased at our location next to Macaroni Grill and
at a kiosk in Town Square. Thus, there will be no customer access or traffic in Mount Branson.
The only access in Mount Branson will be for our maintenance and service staff.

Project Benefits: The Branson lakefront has much to offer visitors with its natural beauty. By
utilizing a smalt available space at the Branson Landing, tourists will have the opportunity to
view Lake Taneycomo, and the Branson Landing area from a unique, elevated viewpoint. By
incorporating local and historical theming into our overall design, visitors will be exposed to a
true Ozark's cultural experience. Our attraction will consume a small amount of a visitor's time,
and will originate and terminate at the Branson Landing. Our Attraction will be available at an
extremely economic price point. What's more, our Attraction will provide rewarding
employment opportunities to one of the Ozark's most important and unique assets ... its people.

Our Expertise & Experience: Our Company's past and current experience is focused on
providing tourists low-impact experiences in the most safe and memorable way possible. Our

2339 US Hwy 65, Walnut Shade, MO 65771 1
Br ans on Eco Vi e w; LLC

model is not only aesthetically and operationally appealing, but it meets and/or exceeds the
most stringent engineering and safety standards available. The patented and exclusive zip line
technology we utilize is extremely safe, efficient and unique in its availability to people of all
ages and physical classifications. Our specific experience is in the construction and operation of
this type of Attraction. As such, once the project is approved and all necessary permits are
obtained, we can complete construction and be operational in about three (3) months.

We will maintain insurance in accordance with the industry standards, a minimum of
$2,000,000 USD in liability insurance.

Our Request: Due to the beneficial nature of this project, we request the appropriate zoning
and approvals to enable us to utilize the properties listed in our concept review application, so
that we may build and operate a zip-line between these properties and the Branson landing.

I would like to emphasize that we are fully funded and ready to move forward immediately with
this exciting project, if approved. We very much look forward to the opportunity to meet with
you, your staff, and the Taney County Planning Commission at the earliest convenience to
answer any questions and to plan our next steps.

Very best regards,

Chris lucchi
