MINUTES
PLANNING BOARD
January 4, 2000
PRESENT: John Taylor (chair), Pam Blue -Thompson, Richard Bradford, Joel Brinkley, Cathy Carroll, David
Daniel, Ed Gill, Chris Quinn, Bryant Warren
PUBLIC: George Horton, Jim Parker, and Margaret Hauth
Taylor called the meeting to order at 6:30 PM.
ITEM #2: There were no committee reports. Hauth announced that there would be some items on the
public hearing agenda of interest to both boards, but not hearing items. She said the county
planning director would make a presentation about school adequate public facilities ordinances
and the developer from Corbin Downs would be back to discuss possible re-application.
ITEM #3: Carroll moved to approve the minutes as written. Warren seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #4: Hauth introduced the subdivision request for phase 4 of the Meadowlands to create seven non-
residential lots inside the loop of Meadowland Drive. She noted the applicant and engineer were
present to answer questions and that this request is somewhat unusual in that no new streets or
utility lines are needed. Gill asked about the location of lot driveways and aligning them with
other drives. Hauth said that is addressed by the Board of Adjustment during site plan approval.
Brinkley asked for clarification about water flows and the creeks on the property. Hauth noted
that the whole site flows into the pond, which serves as the detention facility for the development.
Horton said that during the grading of the lots, the stream was piped. Bradford expressed
concern about compliance with the new state buffer requirements. Parker provided the
specifications on the culvert sizes and noted the project had been reviewed and approved by the
Orange County Soil and Erosion Control staff.
MOTION: Gill moved to recommend approval of the preliminary plan to the Town Board. Carroll seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #5: The members continued discussing the draft text about bars and nightclubs. They asked the focus
to shift to the affect of the proposed language on the EDD and PUD districts. Quinn volunteered
to provide some background information about sound levels and ways to mitigate noise through
buildings materials.
ITEM #6: The members did not have any further comments on the draft Vision 2010 revision. Hauth noted
that it has been successfully loaded onto the town's website and hopefully the map will be
included shortly. The members asked Hauth to email them the website address.
ITEM #7: Hauth asked the members to view a short video about smart growth concepts and design elements
for information and reference.
Taylor adjourned the meeting at 8:17 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Marg t A. Hauth, Secretary
