PC MEMBERS PRESENT: G. Heyer, M Hunziker, D. Brown, A. Lemieux
PUBLIC PRESENT: S. Taylor, ZA; N. Heyer
7:00 PM G.
Heyer called the meeting to order. The minutes from February 17, 2009 were reviewed.
M. Hunziker made a motion to accept the Minutes from February
17, 2009. D. Brown second. G.
Heyer, M. Hunziker and D. Brown in favor. The Board appreciated the large
“Proposed Land Use Map” sent by G. Brunswick, NRPC. Each District will be discussed in detail.
Growth Center District: New
configuration similar to before. The
North Fairfax Growth Center will be removed.
The Shoreland District will also be removed.
Mixed Use District: New configuration is a little smaller than
before. G. Heyer expressed concern over
the intersection of Rte. 104 and Rte 128.
District setbacks will need to be determined with that and other
dangerous intersections in mind.
Recommendation:
Even out the District line on the west side to the corner of McNall Road.
Low Density Residential: A newly
drawn District. Should have smaller lot
sizes due to good soils and encourage Planned Unit Developments (PUDs). G. Heyer suggested that PUDs might be required for developments over a
determined number of acres or lots. He
also suggested that large land owners be invited to a meeting to discuss the
preservation of open spaces and future requirements in the Bylaws. Possible
smaller lot sizes in the Low Density Residential District were discussed. I ˝ acre lots would be in character with the
low density purpose of the district, without allowing the current 2 acre lots
to split into two lots. The Board would like input from G.
Brunswick with examples from other towns.
They would also like input from
G. Brunswick regarding the boundaries of the newly drawn district. The Board would consider expanding the
boundary just north and west of the Growth Center.
8:30 PM M.
Hunziker made a motion to adjourn.
D. Brown second. All in
favor.

Cathy Raymond, Zoning and
Planning Assistant
