PLANNING BOARD

PRESENT: Paul Newton (Chair), Jim Boericke, David Daniel, Matthew Farrelly, David Remington,
Barrie Wallace, Bryant Warren
PUBLIC: Bob Hornik, Margaret Hauth
Newton called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM and confirmed the presence of a quorum.
ITEM #2: Warren moved to approve the minutes as written. Daniel seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #3: Newton asked for changes or additions to the agenda and there were none.
ITEM #4: Hauth provided the Board of Adjustment update indicating the Board approved site plans for a
freestanding Kerr Drug with a cafe and drive-thru window to replace the former Lowes/Kerr
store on US 70 Bypass, a site plan for Auto Zone to replace the former Burger King, and a site
plan for a warehouse addition for A Southern Season. She noted that the Board required all of
the sites to install sidewalks and noted their support/desire to have some design standards for
new commercial buildings. Warren said the Parks and Recreation Board had visited the
donated lot on Terrell Road, received an update from the Turnip Patch neighbors, and were
proceeding with the covered walkway at Gold Park. Newton provided an update from the
Transition task force with Orange County. Warren agreed to represent the board on the
planning committee for the Churton Street corridor project.
ITEM #5: Hauth introduced two text amendment options to allow the re -use of the Bellevue Mill for
residential. She noted they both used the Special Use Permit process, but one would create a
more broadly applicable multi -family special use district that might address other unique
multi -family projects. The members agreed that the multi -family district amendments had a
broader impact than they wanted to address at this time. The members expressed concern
about the impact of existing and changing industrial uses to new residences. They agreed that
leaving the converted parcel zoned industrial would help inform tenants and buyers of the
potential conflicts. The members discussed adding a criteria for the applicant to document
who they intended to protect residents from potential impacts of industrial uses. Daniel asked
that before and after building elevation drawings be provided to verify the retention of the
industrial fagade. Boericke asked about the mitred use standard. Hauth said there is no magic
to the 30% provision. She said she picked the number to provide enough area to make the uses
viable, but still keep the project residential. The members discussed removing a numerical
standard at length, but agreed it should remain in the end.
MOTION: Warren moved to send the text amendment to allow multi -family within the GI district as a
special use to public hearing. Boericke seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #6: Hauth introduced a text amendment proposal based on the September discussion to allow
small restaurants in Neighborhood Business. She noted that the Neighborhood Business zone
