Annual Town Meeting
Gerald Parent said he would give the report on the public hearing of March 5, 2014 at Annual Town Meeting. No one foresaw any major questions on the bylaw Articles in the Town Warrant, but the Board discussed the changes to the National Seashore Park Gross Floor Area (NSPGFA) bylaws. Parent will explain the changes at Town Meeting.
Medical Marijuana Handout
Jan Morrissey had prepared a draft handout2 for Town Meeting to explain the Medical Marijuana Dispensary bylaws. She asked about preparing a presentation for Pre-Town Meeting. Morrissey explained a correction to the number of copies of Special Permit applications to be submitted to the ZBA.
Floodplain District Bylaws
Board members agreed that at Pre-Town Meeting and the Annual Town Meeting Town Administrator Harry Terkanian should be the person to address any questions regarding the Floodplain District bylaws.
Home Occupation & Service Trades Bylaws
Planning Board members examined proposed changes to bylaws for 6.22 Home Occupation and 6.23 Service Trades. Jan Morrissey had prepared April 2, 2014 draft revisions3 which would update the existing bylaw. She entertained discussion and further amendments to the bylaws. Gerald Parent said that he had been unable to meet with the Economic Development Committee regarding bylaws that improve conditions for businesses. The Board discussed what direction to take with revision. Changes to 6.22 and 6.23 could lead to revision of other sections of the Zoning Bylaws, or they could be limited to updating the lists for home occupation businesses and service trades. The Board did not decide which course to take but will begin by further analyzing home occupation & service trades bylaws. Andrew
Freeman will contact Planner Patrice Carson to ask her to create a spreadsheet of the bylaws requirements and standards.
AADUs
Gerald Parent informed the Board of some issues that had been raised regarding the Affordable Accessory Dwelling Units (AADU) bylaws in relation to the proposal to build three AADUs at 2082 State Highway/Route 6, Town-owned property. According to Town Counsel and the Town Administrator, the AADU bylaw language covers the issue of the owner living in the primary residence.
