Charles Matlock and Marianne Bramble.
Consideration of Minutes:
Vice Chair Bossick asked for consideration of September 19, 2016 meeting minutes. Commissioner McNaughton
made a motion to approve the minutes, Commissioner Gann seconded and the vote to approve was unanimous.
Disclosures/ Recusal:
Vice Chair Bossick asked if there were any disclosures or recusals, there were none.
Old Business:
Text Amendment -to the Land Development Code to amend Sec. 3-080D to create a use table with
parking requirements and adjust parking requirements. Additionally to amend Sec. 2-010 Definitions to
add a definition of shopping center:
Mr. Shaw stated he amended the previous ordinance to encompass what he believed to be all of the Planning
Commissions comments and changes. Commissioner McNaughton stated that his preference would be to wait
until everyone was present. Commissioner King asked Mr. Shaw if Gas Stations are treated as retail which he did
not see listed. Mr. Shaw stated yes because a stand-alone Gas Station almost never exist anymore and that is why
he did not put it in the list. He stated the two we have now are also convenience stores so they are treated as retail.
Commissioner McNaughton stated in the Shopping center definition the last sentence is not needed. Mr. Shaw
stated that he agrees and will strike that sentence. Commissioner McNaughton made a motion to continue for
consideration of changes until the November 14th Planning Commission meeting, Commissioner King seconded the
vote to continue was unanimous.
New Business:
Text Amendment -to the Land Development Code to remove Sec. 4-05011-11- TBR transitional business -
residential district and to amend Sec. 4-050F —C2 highway business district to allow for residential uses
by right and above commercial districts:
Mr. Shaw stated right now the City has a zoning district in the ordinance as TBR which is not on our zoning map, it
is described somewhat and as zoning administrator he was never comfortable with where it existed, and in his
opinion you can't have a zoning district that is not on your map if you have something zoned that way. He stated this
is neither an overlay or a district itself it is an interpretation that he is not comfortable with so he would like to
remove the TBR and make the R2 uses by right in the C2. Commissioner McNaughton stated that he does not
understand the second sentence at all. Mr. Shaw stated as an example a home occupation is allowed after special
review in R2 so if they want a home occupation in C2 that would also require special review. Commissioner King
asked if the idea of this new one is that they would use the C2 or the R2 setbacks if it was a residential use. Mr.
Shaw stated perhaps he should add that to be sure and that is an important point. Vice Chair Bossick asked if an
R2 comes in and it is in a C2 area will there have to be a buffer requirement. Mr. Shaw stated there is one in the C2
and he thinks that does need to be stated. Commissioner McNaughton made a motion to continue until the
November 14th Planning Commission meeting, Commissioner Gann seconded the vote to continue was unanimous.
Variance and Special Review -consideration of reauest to place materials in a marsh. Marsh Hen Trail,
north side of Hwy 80/zone r2/pin 4-0024-02-036,4-0024-02-034,4-0023-01-001 and 4-0022-01-001:
Mr. Shaw stated this is a continuation of our bike route and will be an off road portion from Byers to the base of
Lazaretto Creek the Trail will stop at Battery Row until the Bridge is fixed, which will have a bike lane. This was
approved by Planning Commission and City Council a couple years ago and DNR also approved the Marsh Buffer their
approval is good for 5 years where ours is only good for a year and has since expired. That is why this if before you
again. Commissioner Gann made a motion to approve, Commissioner McNaughton seconded and the vote to
approve was unanimous.
Commissioner McNaughton made the motion to adjourn and Commissioner King seconded, vote to adjourn
was unanimous.
