Resident urges board to revoke Fisher special exception; county attorney says court will hear demurrer

Jim Vasquez urged the board during public comment to revoke the special exception granted to Alexis Fisher and 3 Oaks Manor, citing a procedural defect he said occurred when the applicant omitted a co-owner’s signature on the application.

Vasquez said the county code requires all owners to sign such applications and argued that the omission created an opportunity for the board to revisit and rescind the earlier special-exception approval by passing a resolution. “When the applicants omitted the signature of the co owner of 3 Oaks Manor, she left you a way out,” Vasquez said, urging supervisors to acknowledge the procedural error and act.

Separately, County Attorney Popovich told the board during his report that a second hearing in the matter filed against the county and the Fishers is scheduled for Thursday, the 24th. He said the hearing will allow the Fishers to argue their demurrer and motion to dismiss; Popovich said his hope was that the judge would decide at that hearing, and he would notify the board of any ruling. No board action to revoke the special exception was recorded in the meeting excerpt.

Why it matters: The public comment and the pending court hearing relate to the legality and procedural correctness of a previously granted special exception. Vasquez argued that a missing required signature on the application creates a procedural ground for revocation; the county attorney reported ongoing litigation that may resolve the dispute.

What remains unresolved: The board did not vote to revisit or revoke the special exception during this meeting. The court hearing on the Fishers’ demurrer and motion to dismiss is scheduled and may produce a judicial decision that affects the special-exception status.
