Public Hearings:
Branson Storage: a request by Gus Dahlberg to split an existing parcel
into two lots with improvements on one lot located off St. Hwy. 248. Mr. Coxie
read the staff report and presented pictures and a video of the site. Eddie Wolfe
represented the applicant. No one from the public signed up to speak. Jim
Brawner noted that no water or sewer would be needed, however a fire hydrant
should be available. The applicant wants to be able to keep the improvements all
on one lot so that possibly in the future the vacant lot can be sold. With no other
discussion this project will proceed to final vote next week.

Addition to Forest Lake at Stonebridge Village: a request by Missouri
Partners, Inc. to develop a 324 single family residential lot subdivision with 199
single family residential lots and three of the holes for the golf course to be
located in Taney County off Limestone Dr. Mr. Coxie read the staff report and
presented pictures and a video of the site. Eddie Wolfe represented the
developer and presented a preliminary plat of the part of the project which is in
Taney County. Discussion followed regarding water, sewer, and plat recording.
Mr. Steve Redford the developer clarified the project. Discussion followed. This
project will proceed to final vote next week.

RKC Properties: a request by New Horizons Community Church to
construct a gym, office and warehouse located at 1192 Bird Road. Mr. Coxie read
the staff report and presented pictures and a video of the site. Eddie Wolfe
represented the applicant. This project is next door to the Stillwood Project
previously approved. Mr. Wolfe presented preliminary plats of the site and
discussed access. Two previously recorded plats were presented showing an
adjustment to the easement allowing access to the single family dwelling.
Buffering cannot be done between commercial and residential because there is a
road there. Mr. Wolfe suggested not bUilding the cul-de-sac allowing emergency
vehicles a better turn around and leaving room for the road to be extended in
the future. The decision of record can reflect this. This project will proceed to .
final vote next week.

Wildflower Learning Center: a request by Carla and Rick QUincey to
operate a small school located at 160 Old Glory Road. This project withdrew.

Old and New Business:
Missouri Department of Conservation: A letter was received from the
Department which discussed the effect the 65 Multi-Use project could potentially
have on the Emory Creek Watershed. In the Conservation Department's opinion
the Williams' Crayfish which resides in both in Emory Creek and North Emory
Creek which is considered an imperiled species would suffer an adverse impact
because of this development. Stream habitat and water quality in downstream
areas such as Swan Creek, and Woods Fork of Bull Creek would suffer from
unstable and shifting substrate and excess deposited fine sediments presumably
resulting from recent or current land use practices. Ms. requested that to
conserve the integrity of the streams that any development within the Emory
Creek Watershed be conducted using best management practices and that care
be taken to ensure that development has minimal impact on surrounding
landscapes and streams. Specific points that should be considered during
development planning include: Reducing sediment loss or erosion from
construction areas, maintaining the riparian corridor by preserving a zone of
vegetation along stream channels, conservation of stream flow, application for
necessary permits, and reduction of stormwater runoff. The Department would
like to be kept in the loop if approval is given.

Mr. Coxie reported on a couple of calls received in the office regarding
Branson Canyon on St. Hwy. P. The decision of record states that nightly rental
can be on a portion of the project, specifying 84 units. The owner wants to
specify which structure can have the nightly rental. Mrs. Klinefelter stated that
nightly rental is generally a management issue. Discussion followed regarding
how staff could keep track. Mr. Brawner discussed thinking ahead because the
economy is causing people to panic. Mr. Pennel discussed that when a use
becomes nightly rental the property becomes commercial and the County
Commission has asked legal counsel to take some action. Discussion followed.
Ray Edwards made a motion not to allow the owner to do nightly rental on that
project. Staff will research the tapes of the meeting and report at the next
meeting of what the intent was. Discussion followed. The motion died for lack of
second.

Jim's Auto Body, which burned lately, applicant applied for a permit and
wants to enlarge the footprint. Mr. Coxie asked if this should be a Division III.
The Commission stated that it should.

Keith Crawford reported on his findings regarding the noise study done in
regards to the 65 multi-use project. Mr. Crawford presented a report of his
findings which addressed noise decibles, and that professional race tracks, osha,
or any other entities, do not have any limitations on noise. He made a
recommendation of items that could be contained in a decision of record. Mrs.
Klinefelter reported that she had done a study on her own and found out the
same thing Mr. Crawford had. The second document contained a study regarding
sound measurements from two different subdivisions in close proximity of the
project. He used sound measurements from St. Hwy. 65, a lawn mower and
garden tractor. Mr. Crawford found that having no race track to having a race
track the noise would be ten times louder. The vote will be held on this project
next week. Mr. Pingleton discussed if the project is approved and noise levels are
added to the decision of record how staff would enforce it. Discussion followed.

Adjournment:
With no other business on the agenda for June 9, 2008 a motion was
made by Ray Edwards to adjourn. Seconded by Randall Cummings. The vote to
adjourn was unanimous. The meeting adjourned at 8:35 pm.
