Meeting was called to order by Chairman Janet Weidner at 4:30 p.m.
- Chair Weidner alerted all to the filming of the meeting.
Proposed Residential Bylaws Discussion:
- Discussion occurred regarding the Barn definition proposal:
- Mr. Murphy made comments and suggested changes: allow for the purpose of aquaculture, if use is changed the owner would need to comply with other zoning regulations
- Mr. Meegan also suggested changes.
- Ms. Malkin noted the requirement of ‘Change of Use’, newly proposed, and the accompanying need for a special permit and how that effects the suggestion from Mr. Murphy.
- Mr. Meegan questioned whether housing farm employees could be defined as ‘agricultural use’ and therefore the housing could be in the Barn.
- Extended discussion occurred about the definition of ‘other agricultural uses’. Mr. Murphy suggested an exception be made for agricultural employees. It was agreed that ‘other agricultural uses’ would not be changed.
- Discussion occurred regarding the Detached Bedroom definition proposal:
- Chair Weidner introduced the topic and explained the progress to date.
- Discussion occurred regarding the number of detached bedrooms.
- Mr. Greenbaum suggested keeping the rule to have no single detached bedroom over 400 sq. ft., but no combined detached bedrooms over 800 sq. ft.
- Chair Weidner suggested keeping the proposals simple and to leave the detached bedroom definition as is.
- Discussion occurred regarding the Change of Use definition proposal:
- Chair Weidner introduced the topic and explained the progress to date.
- More discussion occurred addressing the definition of accessory structures
- Discussion occurred regarding the FAR & Impact Assessment Proposals:
- Chair Weidner asked Ms. Malkin to summarize the proposed bylaws. Ms. Malkin reviewed her draft bylaws for the FAR approach and the Impact Assessment approach. Ms. Malkin suggested the two could be combined. Chair Weidner stated the subcommittee’s great desire to devise something reasonable. Mr. Greenbaum made clear that there are three options: the FAR option (with two options within it), the Impact Assessment option and a combined option.
- Mr. Meegan questioned what would happen if he had 12 acres of land and pulled 3 permits for houses, then came back to ask the Planning Board for a 4th. He calculated that he would be able to build over 7900 sq. ft. on the 12 acres. Ms. Malkin and Chair Weidner stated they had thought about this problem and had drafted something that would address that situation.
- Mr. Greenbaum reviewed his data and summarized the findings.
- Next Planning Board Meeting: Monday, November 26, 2012, 4:30 PM
With no more business to discuss, Chair Weidner adjourned the meeting.
Minutes respectfully submitted by Jennifer Christy, Administrative Assistant.
