ITEM #2: The Zoning Ordinance text amendments concerning vested rights (a -e) were presented by Brough, Town Attorney. He stated that this new section of the Ordinance was required by the State to protect holders of site specific development plans from changes to the ordinance for a period of two years. The State requires the adoption of this ordinance by all local governments by October 1, 1991. Johnson asked if the two year period was from the time of application or date of permit approval. Brough said the time started at the permit approval. He also said this section would put an expiration date on the permits by which time the permit holders would have to act or lose their approval. Johnson asked what affect a change of ownership would have on the two year period. Brough said the time limit was not effected by change in ownership. Deetjen asked the consequences of being in mid -construction when time elapsed. Brough stated that once a building permit is issued its expiration date overrides that of the vested rights. Evans confirmed that a change in ownership would have no effect on the vesting period. Poole -Kober asked when this ordinance would go into effect. Brough said that it would apply to all projects after October 1, 1991. JOINT PUBLIC HEARING JULY 23, 1991 Page 3 Nichols stated that she wished Payne would develop the lot as if he would live there. Jones asked for a show of hands by those apposed to the proposal and those in favor. The show was 10 to 2 against the rezoning request. Payne asked why the Mobile Home Park District was in the Ordinance it was not to be applied to new lots. He said that not everyone could afford to purchase a home in Hillsborough and it was his intent and track record to provide affordable housing in terms of mobile homes in town. Evans asked if an addition to the existing single wide home would make it equal to a double wide. Coe said it would not. Poole -Kober said that the issue was not one of affordable housing but whether the application met the ordinance requirements, which it does not. Coe confirmed that a dimensional varience would be required before the lot would meet ordinance requirements. Jones thanked the mnembers of the audience for attending the meeting and stated that the individual boards would decide on the application during their August meeting. Tones adjorned the meeting at 7:55 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Margaret A. Hauth, Secretary
