Review of proposed Zoning Ordinance changes with Jack Mettee
The Board reviewed and discussed the handout with the items for review, some of which included:
- Section II-Detached Dwelling vs. Accessory Dwelling Units-suggested language throughout the districts and possible further review. The Board decided to keep this section the same for now, readdress it next year.
- Better defining Dwelling Units in the definition section (two, single, multi) no need to say in the actual regulations of the ZO, too. The Board agreed to make this minor clarification this year.
- Additional detail to the Home Occupation language. The Board decided that it should be done next year.
- Better define the amount of contiguous open space that is required in the Open Space Development Ordinance (OSD). The Board agreed that this was too large to do this year.
- Clarify language for common area ownership in OSD. The Board agreed this minor clarification could be done this year.
- Differentiate between non-conforming: use, lots and structures as suggested by the attorney. The Board noted that this too was too large to change this year.
- Better define language to match related RSAs in Residential Timing and Phasing or move the applicability section to the subdivision regulations was discussed including noting of the proper RSA’s. The Board decided to add some language to the existing ordinance for clarification and to add a section on applicability with suggested table into the Subdivision Regulations.
Add the March 8, 2011 date to the Parent Parcel to the definitions section- Mr. Bacon will send a better definition to the members to consider as well. The Board discussed and noted this minor addition could be done this year as well.
Mrs. Sears will work on a document to present to the Board and eventually the voters. Mr. Davies suggested forming a sub committee to work on future warrant articles, year round, as a way to work through a lot of these necessary reviews.
Mr. Mettee also discussed a cell tower ordinance that the Board had requested. It was determined that he will work out an estimate and timeline for it and will also give an estimate and timeline for other projects originally discussed in his first contract, including this ongoing ZO changes reviewed tonight that can’t be completed in time for this year’s ballot.
