New Business:
Main Street Workgroup
(Brian, Marc and Ron)
Ron acting spokesman for the workgroup recommended that the extension of the B1 district is not a good idea.
Working group is in favor of going with a Modified B1-A or B3 District.
The ZRC has agreed that not all uses allowable in a B1 district should be permitted in the proposed Main St business zone extension. Taken from the Main St survey the residents of Main St. want to keep the character of the town.
Members suggested allowing the flexibility of home business through the Special Use process.
Ron will provide a list of special uses-suggested by the Main Street Surveys for next meeting
Steep slopes definition needs to be the same throughout code, also include the various grades
HRVR Correspondence
Fred Greitzer recused himself from any discussion involving HRVR
Reviewed the correspondence received from HRVR, the ZRC recommends no revisions be made to the draft code based on these comments.
Discussion on triplexes in Cluster developments members agreed to not allow triplexes in such developments.
Pre Planning procedures and Language discussed
On behalf of the Planning Board Fred has advised the ZRC that the Planning Board is against the mandatory preplanning procedures being proposed.
Jen suggested bringing in members from other communities Planning Boards that are currently using this process.
Nava recommends the Planning Board come up with alternatives to the pre planning meeting. Nava also suggested that the goals are the same as the ones that are currently being proposed by the ZRC.
The ZRC recommends adopting the pre-application meeting as written to include the following changes
(3) Procedure. (a) Schedule of Pre Planning Meeting. Prior to any consideration of a proposed site plan, an applicant shall first schedule a pre-planning meeting with representatives of the Planning Board. The purpose of the pre-planning meeting is to identify and discuss, at the earliest stages of design possible, any characteristics of the site which could influence the design and protect the natural character of the Town.
[1] The pre planning meeting shall be required for any commercial or multi-family application which is proposing 5,000 sq ft. for more in total natural land disturbance, or subdivision creating 3 or more new lots. Applications which do not meet this threshold may instead submit under the requirements of (b) Pre submission below.
[2] The Planning Board may, at the request of the applicant, waive the requirement for a pre planning meeting with a majority vote if;
(i.) the proposed work does not include the development of any new undeveloped land areas, and only involves a reconfiguration of an existing site plan, and;
(ii.) the Board determines that the proposed scope of site modifications are not substantial enough to warrant a full site analysis.
[3] Such request for waiver shall be made in writing to the Planning Board and accompanied by a complete description of the proposed work
Motion was made by Tim Morrison, seconded by Jen Metzger

Email Joan with the names of the ZRC members present at the June 16, 2010 Town Board Meeting/Presentation
Old Business:
Reviewed notes taken at the June 16 Town Board meeting by Gary and Mike Allen.
Item#1
Public notification of Special Use Permits and Public Meetings on matters before the Planning Board
Recommendation:
Signs shall be posted 12 days prior to meeting. Signs supplied by the town. Size of the signs should be 24 x 32. Notification shall be posted on town website. Signs shall reference website and provide a town phone number to call for more information. Website shall contain information that reflects the issues to be considered by the Planning Board and for which the Public Meeting is being held.
Item # 2 Referral to Planning Board of matters before the Building Department that involve Constrained Lands code.
Recommendation:
The Building Department identifies that a project before them includes considerations contained in Constrained Lands code requiring mitigation the matter will be referred to the Planning Board. The Planning Board shall review the matter along with their consultant to provide advice to the Code Enforcement Officer.
Item # 3 B-1 Extension and all Main St. B-1 Zone- Parking
Recommendation
All businesses without adequate on-site parking have access to Municipal Parking and must purchase a Parking Waiver from the Town.
Item #4 B-1 Extension
Recommendation
Develop list of uses by right for what will be "Modified B-1". Allow professional services and exclude taverns and businesses where preparations of food for take out or consumption on site is prohibited.
Ease restriction of requirement of business within 400 feet of Municipal Parking.
Ron has a list of businesses referenced taken from the recent survey. Workgroup formed (Ron, Marc, and Brian) to develop a recommended list of permitted uses and details of code
Item #5 Lights "Spillover"
Recommendation
Include Residential zones. Use Design Guidelines language. "0 angle deflection and shielded and shrouded". Should a Nuisance Ordinance that involves lighting issues and noise be developed?
Prior discussions of enforcement included need to consider how it will be enforced as infractions occur at night after business hours.
Is this a matter for Behan or Town Attorney?
Item #6- Cluster Development vs. Conservation Subdivision.
Would Conservation Subdivision code allowed for projects that "make sense
Recommendation
Behan asked to use Wild Rose and Legacy Farm plats to develop a Conservation Subdivision.
Evaluate 30% of buildable land to be set aside. Expectation is that it does, and will stay in code until proven otherwise.
Leslie will provide Behan with copies of the final plats for both mentioned subdivisions.
Item #7 10% slope in "Steep Slope Code?
Recommendation
Remediation and considerations for protection of resources and facilitation of appropriate development found in 10% to 15% makes sense. Best solution: Name code "Slopes" instead of "Steep Slopes".
Items discussed tonight will be forwarded to Behan.
Discussed next scheduled ZRC meetings. Leslie will check with Heidi on availability of Rec Center. Proposed July 8th
July 15 is a regular monthly meeting.
Motion was made by Fred Greitzer to adjourn the meeting @ 10:05 PM.
All in favor
Meeting adjourned @ 10:05p.m.
