Chair David O’Halloran opened the meeting.
Handouts were distributed.
1) 3 sets of comments from UCPB on previous code submissions
2) A summary of the total of landowners who submitted letters of protest to past code submission
3) A map packet showing various maps highlighting natural features of the town.
Proposed zoning designation uses table was discussed. Zones R-3, R-2, R-5, and H were fully discussed with some uses added, moved, or deleted from the tables.
It was discussed that possibly some of the old CF zoned properties (new R-3) might become R-5 or R-2 when the map is reviewed at a later date.
Topics which gathered the most discussion included mining/farm mining, commercial recreational uses, home occupations, farmstands/agricultural retail sales, and accessory apartments.
It was decided that these items be notated to merit further discussion and review when the text of the document and definitions are reviewed.
Next meeting will continue the discussion of use tables.
Meeting was adjourned at 9 PM
Next meeting dates: (7 PM @ Town Hall)
