Approve the Minutes of the December 17, 2009 - Mr. Robblee made the motion to approve the minutes as presented. Mr. Dubois seconded the motion. The minutes were approved.
Approve the Minutes of January 19, 2010 –Mr. Lazar motioned to approve the minutes as amended. Mr. Schacht seconded the motion. The minutes were approved.
Mr. Schacht said that he wished to express his disappointment concerning the way in which the January 19, 2010 Public Hearing had turned out. Article XIV-B Section 4 had been tabled because the Board could not come to a decision on proper verbiage for the Zoning Ordinance Amendment. He felt that the Planning Board had voted on January 7, 2010 to place the Article XIV-14-B Section 4 (which had changed the article to state that cell towers would not be allowed at all in the Residential District, but would be allowed in all other districts, including the Rural Conservation District, with a Special Exception) on the March 9, 2010 ballot, and that vote should not have been overturned by a smaller membership of the Board.
Second Public Hearing: Proposed Amendment Changes for Antrim Zoning Ordinances
Chair Burnside opened the Public Hearing. Mr. Moore read the Public Notice which had been advertised in the Villager on January 22, 2010 and posted on the bulletin boards at the Town Hall and the Post Office.
Chair Burnside reviewed each Article and noted the revisions that had resulted from the first Public Hearing. There were some minor revisions and all amendments as revised were approved. March 9, 2010 is Election Day. The Zoning Ordinance Ballot, as well as, the School District Ballot and the Town Officers Ballot will all be voted on that day.
