MINUTES
PLANNING BOARD
January 5, 1993
PRESENT: Bill Crowther (Chair), Wayne Tilley, Kendall Abernathy, Cheshire Cole, Louise Evans, Sam Jones,
Margaret Moore, Wendy Olson, Quanda Turner
PUBLIC: William Crawley, Todd Chavious, Margaret Hauth
Crowther called the meeting to order at 6:35 PM.
ITEM #4-6: Hauth introduced the three rezoning requests that will appear on the public hearing agenda at the
end of the month. The members asked that a better map be provided for the Meadowlands request,
so it can be reviewed in the surrounding context.
ITEM #7a: Hauth introduced the text amendment to require site plans for all non-residential uses, regardless
of the zoning district. She noted that this primarily affects schools and church which are permitted
by right in residential districts which does not provide a comment opportunity for neighbors.
MOTION: Abernathy moved to send the proposed text to public hearing. Jones seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #7b: Hauth introduced the text amendment to clarify the status of residential driveways. The members
asked Hauth to include other items like steps, patios, walkways, etc. and broaden the scope. They
agreed not to send this item to hearing at this time.
ITEM #7c: Hauth introduced the text amendment to define "grading" and "excavation".
MOTION: Olson moved to send the proposed text to public hearing. Evans seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #7d: Hauth introduced the text amendment to reduce setback requirements for non -conforming lots.
Hauth said the proposal holds the proportion of the lot in setback the same, but does not allow
setbacks of less than 10 feet.
MOTION: Crowther moved to send the proposed text to public hearing. Olson seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #7e: Hauth introduced the text amendment to allow setback encroachments with a special exception
permit for the street setback. She noted that many streets have wide rights-of-way that make front
setbacks very deep. She noted that this would allow the reduction to keep new construction more
in-line with its neighbors.
MOTION: Abernathy moved to send the proposed text to public hearing. Evans seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #7f&g: Hauth introduced the text amendment to rearrange portions of the ordinance. Hauth said she had
talked with the Town Attorney and this proposal does not require a hearing, because the rules are
not changing, they are being moved within the document
ITEM #8: Hauth introduced the request from resident Jack Payne to allow single wide mobile homes
throughout the R-10 district. The members discussed the request and agreed that it was not a board
priority. Crowther reminded members that any citizen can sponsor a text amended. The members
directed Hauth to make Payne aware of that option.
Crowther adjourned the meeting at 8:00 PM
Respectfully submitted,
MargAt A. Hauth, Secretary
