Board approves conditional-use permit for events at 2476 Barnesville Road with conditions

The board approved a conditional-use (additional-use) permit for 2476 Barnesville Road to allow on-site events and limited retail activity tied to a working farm.

The applicant described plans for farm-based activities including flower and plant sales, educational visits and community events. He said the site would use about 2 acres of land for parking and estimated a maximum attendance of roughly 250 people for events. The applicant also said the property would not have permanent advertising signage but would use day-of event signs when appropriate.

A member moved to approve the use permit with operational limits described in the discussion: maximum attendance capped at 250 people, hours of operation from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and no permanent signage. The motion was seconded and taken to roll call. The transcripted roll call segments show affirmative "yes" responses from members present; named affirmative responses in the provided segment include Keith Wheeler, Jim Oles, Brian Robinson, Keith Clark and Rob Hall. The provided record does not show any "no" or abstention responses in the captured segments.

The conditions recorded in the discussion — capacity, hours and signage limitations — became part of the approval as presented in the motion. The board did not discuss any monetary or permitting conditions in the transcripted portion beyond operational limits and parking estimates.

The applicant and board members agreed follow-up tasks include ensuring parking configuration and day-of signage adhere to county requirements before events proceed. The transcript ends shortly after the roll call recorded in the provided segments.
