developer.

1986 addressing their concerns with regard to the proposed zoning
ordinance.

Planning Commission - August 18, 1986 - page two
Lou Canaiy - Mr. Canaiy commented on appeal procedures.
Frank Gray - Mr. Gray commended the Commission and Staff on a very
excellent and consistent zoning ordinance. Mr. Gray noted several
points for consideration: add and/or better define "bed and
breakfast", "natural environment", "home occupations", and specific
locations of trails/systems, views/view corridors. The word
"consistent" should be defined. Mr. Gray also made the following
suggestions: municipal use be permitted by Special Review in the E,
R-S and R-M Districts; permit clubs and fraternal organizations in
R-S and R-M by Special Review; Special Review for multi-family
dwellings should not be required when surrounded by multi-family
development; look at 12%-15% as breakpoint for slope penalty. Mr.
Gray suggested that, after ordinance adoption, a Board of Technical
Review be established to monitor the ordinance and report back to
the Planning Commission regarding any needed modifications.
Bill VanHorn - Mr. VanHorn suggested that stables be a permitted
use. He discussed the proposals for slope adjustments; suggested
that 18,000 sq. ft. was not a small enough lot; suggested the bonus
for reducing off-site visibility be more than 10%; need to reduce
40,000 sq. ft. multi-family basic lot area requirement for areas
that will probably redevelop.
Rowland Retrum - Mr. Retrum addressed several areas of the ordinance
and his concern regarding various Board reviews and methods of
notification to adjacent landowners. He also expressed concern
regarding right of appeal of adjacent landowners.
Todd Plummer - Commented on permitted uses and slope formula.
Seymour Graham - Commented on subdivision improvement guarantee
also noted that the proposed zoning ordinance is difficult to
follow.
He
Lew Wallace - Commented on RV setbacks from property lines. These
setbacks should be a minimum of 75 feet. He agrees with the county
rule of 250 feet from single-family residences.
Tom Brown - Commented that with some changes and revisions, things
should move ahead.
Dave Habecker - Mr. Habecker discussed permitted uses and slope
formula.
Hearing no further comment from the public or the Commission,
Chairman Sager declared public comment closed. Member Brown moved
the public hearing reconvene at the August 19, 1986 regularly
scheduled Planning Commission meeting. Member Hix seconded the
motion and it passed unanimously.
The Town Board will also conduct a public hearing on the proposed
residential zoning ordinance on August 26, 1986.
