request that Page recommended that water usage figures for subdivisions be
provided. The Zoning Office said no, not at this time. Poole -Kober asked
the Zoning Office to go ahead and forward this request to the Town Engineer.

minutes, Page seconded it. The motion was carried.
Poole -Kober asked the Zoning Officer about the status of the motion made by
Rose (Page 3, Item 7) to recommend that the Town Board place a moratorium
on additional water usage. The Zoning Officer replied that her recommendation
to the Town Board was that they support the State's in -stream flow; it did not
include the motion for the moratorium. The Chairman asked that the recommendation
be sent to the Town Board.
The Chairman asked if there were_ay additions to the agenda. The Zoning Officer
said that Item 2 was to be deleted; that the applicant had only submitted a
sketch plan and will have more information for next month's meeting.

The Zoning Officer presented a map showing the lot layout with the lot desginated
as 2F on the Tax Map. The Zoning Officer stated that this lot is a part of the
parcel that is adjacent to the Scotswood Dev., but that Lot 2F is not directly
adjacent to it. The zoning for the site now is Agricultural -Residential and the
minimum lot size requirement is 40,000 sq. ft. The proposed development is in
the County's planning jurisdiction and their setbacks, which are 20 ft. for the
side and rear and 40 ft. for the front would apply. The proposed subdivision
will create 3 new lots with each being a little over a acre in size. There is
a septic tank easement for each lot. There is a 60 ft. wide easement which runs
through Green's property and connects onto Baldwin Road and goes onto the property
across the power line easement. A private classy road called Meadowbrook Trail
will be created which will serve Lot 1. Lots 2 and 3 will front onto ---Friendship
Lane.

Also shown on the map is a stream buffer of 30 ft. on each side of the stream
which is part of Nancy Hill Creek and runs through the Scotswood Development. This
property is within the 100 year floodplain and the.floodplain is not shown on the
map, the stream buffer is. The Zoning Officer stated that development of any kind
should be restricted in the floodway area. The Zoning Officer stated that she
felt that the map should indicate that this is a floodplain and not just a stream
buffer. The development will be served by wells and septic systems. A soil
analysis has been done.
Murphy.made.a motion,_:seconded by Culbreth, for -the approval of the subdivision
with the -Planning Board's recommendation that the floodway and floodplain along
Nancy Hill Creek be noted on the map.
Sherry'Carter asked the Chairman why the subdivision had to come before the
review of the Town Planning Board when the development does not adjoin the
extra—territorial district or have either water or sewer. The Chairman
stated that the possibility of annexation for this area at some time and
the possibility of the closeness to the Scotswood Development could both be
reasons for the review, but that the Hillsborough Planning Board had not
asked to review the development.
Item 4: Recommendations on proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments presented at
Public Hearing on March 17, 1986.
For a review of the proposed zoning ordinance amendments please see attachment in

the original maintenance agreement be used, Page seconded it. The motion
was carried.
(d) Section 19 — Setbacks — Amended to say that the front setback will be 40'
from the center line ..hen there is no proof of the property line. Page
made a motion for approval, Culbreth seconded it. The motion was carried.

Board do a survey of all burial grounds. A sub—committee was formed with Murphy,
Davis and Moore. Poole—Kober said that the Town Board.was thinking of maybe
having a separate zoning for cemeteries. The Planning Board recommended that
the matter be addressed by the Town Attorney to see if a cemetery zone is
needed.

rezoning along the south side of U.S. 70. Members can refer to the attachment
in their April 3rd agenda packets for more information.

is not yet available from the Town Attorney, and that it will be distributed to

proposal for a fence at Burnside Dr.

placed in the right-of-way. The ordinance states that no signs are allowed in the
right-of-way. The Abundant Life Church request for a variance was not approved.
The Board asked for a redesign for the additon to the sanctuary. A variance
request for Olaf Ramm was granted for an addition to his house.
