Planning Board meeting minutes for Thursday October 24, 2013
The meeting opened at 7:07
Members present: Stephen Enoch, co-chair, Roger Tryon, Alan Salamon, Barry Karson.
Members absent: Maggie Leonard, Larry Klein.
There was no business from the public.
Salamon reported on meeting with the Select Board. The Select Board needs to hold a special town meeting before January 2014. The Select Board agreed with Planning Board to include the moratorium on medical marijuana clinics and the solar power bylaw on the warrant for the special town meeting. It was noted that the Planning Board would need to hold a public hearing prior to the special town meeting.
The board discussed the length of the proposed moratorium on medical marijuana clinics and whether or not to propose it during the special town meeting or if it makes more sense to wait for the annual town meeting in order to have the moratorium expire at the annual town meeting in 2015. The board unanimously agreed to propose the moratorium at the special town meeting and request a 17-month time frame to expire May 2015.
ADU’s
Enoch read a letter from Leonard into the record re: ADU’S.
Salamon raised issues to consider prior to drafting a bylaw:
- Related or non-related people
- Detached/attached or both
- Garage space or basement space
- Size based on square footage (800—1000) or percentage of size of main structure.
- Size of lot to allow ADU’s – limit or maximum
- Parking spaces required
- Districts to permit ADU’s
- Same or additional frontage
- Extra curb cut
- Setbacks and other restrictions, septic, etc.
- Subdivision requirements
There was discussion re: ADU’s on non-conforming lots and whether that would require a special permit. Further discussion included: number of ADU’s per lot; number of bedrooms permitted; size of frontage; size of lot; size of building limited or not; percent size; special permit for non-relatives and by-right for related individuals.
The board agreed that accessory dwelling units are a benefit to Monterey and that the full board will continue the discussion.
There being no other news from board members the meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
