And their comments, the subject property is located within the industrial one, light industrial zoning district vehicle sales lot under 10,000 pounds.

Gross vehicle weight is a conditional use that requires the board of zoning appeals approval.

Zoning inspector posted uh hearing notice February 4th, 2026.

And then I see uh some map from KCI Technologies.

There is a response to Bethany Henderson's request from Louisa Staley, Carroll County Environmental Health Department.

Proposed use may not be acceptable unless it is demonstrated that there is an adequate water supply and the adequate area for the installation of an initial and two replacement septic systems for the proposed use and any existing uses of this property.

There's a January 8th, 2026 letter from Kelly Shae from Miller to the board.

And there is the application.

And two uh plans from KCI technologies.

I would ask that the board I would ask the at the file be entered into evidence.

Do we have a motion to enter the file into evidence?

So moved.

Ms.

Thank you.

Good morning, Kelly Schaefer Miller, 73 East Main Street, Westminster, Maryland, 21157.

I am here this morning on behalf of the applicant, Mr.

Brad Miller, no relation.

Just our common last name.

As Mr.

Dixon introduced the file requesting conditional use approval for a vehicle sales lot.

This is not a typical auto sales lot, although this is what it's classified as under the county's zoning ordinance.

So it was the zoning administrator's interpretation that this use fell under the vehicle sales lot, and that is why the application requests that approval, but really this applicant's use is for golf cart sales.

This site is in one of the one of, if not the largest industrial subdivision in Carroll County.

It's down off of Enterprise Street.

It is you'll hear testimony, but it is almost all industrially zoned in that area.

The building exists.

There is no proposed development associated with this use.

Included with the application, but also included in this exhibit packet as applicants exhibit one is a copy of the most recently approved site plan for the property.

So this property did develop in accordance with an approved site plan through Carroll County.

There is one main warehouse type industrial building on the property, as well as a smaller industrial building located on the rear of the property.

You will hear through Mr.

Miller's testimony that he occupies a portion of the large structure and then also the entire of the rear structure on the property.

You'll see both of those indicated on that previously approved site plan.

That is the first page in that packet.

So with that, I will begin Mr.
