RFD AP 35, 1.15 PETER WELLS FOR PACER NOMINEE TRUST: Mr. Steves opened the public meeting at 2:00 PM and mentioned the Commission will discuss the RFD and make the site visit after the public meeting. The determination and vote will then be taken on site. Mr. Wells summarized the RFD for the planned archeological survey of the 27-acre parcel’s building envelope as indicated on the revised plan dated 11/16/05. Mr. Wells explained that the entire building envelope except the section that is a resource area (indicated in blue) would be surveyed to make sure the envelope is available for development/construction. He added a prospective buyer wanted the survey performed before closing on the property. Ms. Goff added that the there is a ½ acre building envelope on a 27-acre parcel and
asked if there is another potential location for a house. She added that if there is an alternative location, the Commission does not like to build within 100 feet of a resource area.
With no further comments, the Commission proceeded to the location for a site visit with Mr. Wells. After walking the cleared building envelope, Ms. Goff made a motion for a positive determination of the RFD with a condition that the archeological survey will not take place within the 100-foot buffer zone. Mr. Steves added that this restriction also means the Commission would not want to see a new house built within the 100 foot buffer zone. Ms. White seconded the motion and the vote for a positive determination was six in favor with one abstention (Maloney).
