MINUTES
Hillsborough Planning Board
July 6, 1993
Members Present: Bill Crowther, Wayne Tilley, Quanda Turner, Stuart Munson, Wendy
Olson, Robert Murphy, Louis Long
Staff Present: Margaret Hauth, Planning Director
ITEM #1: Hauth asked that the minutes from the May and June meetings be deleted as they
were not ready for review.
ITEM #2: Chair asked for committee reports.
ITEM #3: deleted
ITEM #4: Hauth introduced the preliminary subdivision plan for magnolia Place, a
subdivision to contain 42 single family houses. She noted the applicant was
proposing the development using the cluster subdivision provisions in the
Subdivision Regulations, which allowed smaller lot sizes in return for maintaining
open space in a development. She noted the site was making use of the existing
pond as both open space and stormwater detention. She noted this is the new plan
for the site previously approved as affordable apartments and called Woods of
Oakdale. She noted the project was still proposing affordable housing, but the
houses would be sold and be made affordable with second mortgage assistance.
Hauth added that this appears to be the first subdivision the town is fully
reviewing on its own since the adoption of the Subdivision Regulations. She
asked the applicant and consultants to discuss the project in detail.
MOTION: Murphy moved to recommend approval of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan to
the Town Board. Turner seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #5: Hauth introduced text amendments to both the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision
Regulations to meet the requirements of watershed protection mandated by the
state. She said the amendments propose to create overlay zoning districts for the
watershed areas as only a small portion of the jurisdiction is a designated
watershed under the state requirements.
MOTION: Olson moved to send the text to public hearing. Turner seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #6: Hauth introduced a text amendment to remove reference to "general welfare"
from the Board of Adjustment's findings for Conditional Use Permits. She said
the Town Attorney recommended this amendment as recent case activity had
determined that only the elected board could determine "general welfare" and
could not delegate that determination to another board.
MOTION: Olson moved to send the amendment to public hearing. Turner seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #7: Hauth introduced two text amendments to allow the Historic District Commission
to consider the location of buildings on a site and in relation to other buildings as
part of their review.
MOTION: Tilley moved to send the text amendments to public hearing. Munson seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous
ITEM #8: The members continued their discussion of a series of amendments to the
commercial standards, uses, and districts in the Zoning Ordinance. The members
agreed that the work was far enough along to solicit some preliminary public
feedback. They agreed that the text in its current form could be sent to public
hearing. They agreed that further work may be needed based on the reaction, but
it was time to test the water.
MOTION: Munson moved to send the amendments to the permitted use lists and
performance standards for the revised commercial districts to public hearing.
Turner seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #9: The meeting was adjourned before 9:00 PM.
