2. Proposed Amendment to Section7.2.3 of the Old Lyme Zoning Regulations, Jeff Flower, applicant.
Mr. Flower was present to explain the proposed amendment. He noted that the words printed in black ink under 7.2.3(a) and 7.2.3(b) are word for word from Section 7.2.3 of the new regulations (regulation rewrite). He noted that Section 7.2.3 deals with land in two zones. Mr. Flower stated that he proposes Section 7.2.3(c) which considers the lot to be in whichever zone has more land.
Ms. Marsh stated that she would rather see the land developed under the regulations for the larger of the two zones.
Mr. Risom stated that in the past they had modified lot lines for property owners whose lots fall in two different zones. Mr. Flower stated that the proposal is a good solution for all the lots in Town split by a zone line.
