MEMBERS PRESENT: G. Heyer, M. Hunziker, A. Lemieux, R. Wimble
PUBLIC PRESENT: S. Taylor, ZA
The workshop was called to
order by G. Heyer at 7:30PM. The minutes from August 15, 2006 were
reviewed. A. Lemieux made a motion to accept the minutes from August 15, 2006. M.
Hunziker second. All in favor.
The Town of Fairfax Flood
Hazard Regulation Ordinance was reviewed.
S. Taylor and M. Hunziker had already sent the Selectboard their
comments. The Planning Commission felt they were not qualified to comment on
technical information. Some sections, such as reference to various zone areas,
were unclear. The Zoning Administrator will draft a memo to the Selectboard
with their comments. The Zoning
Administrator felt he could not enforce this ordinance with out specific
information and guidelines.
M. Hunziker reviewed the
information sent by Bill Rose of the Northwest Regional Planning Commission
regarding parking regulations. The
section in the Fairfax Bylaws will be kept as is. The sections on two-lot
subdivisions and boundary adjustments were revised again by M. Hunziker and S.
Taylor. Most of this new wording will be included in the draft of the Bylaws. The
report from Catherine Dimitruk from the Northwest Regional Planning Commission
was discussed. The Planning Commission
will wait for input from the Development Review Board before they will make
changes based on her recommendations.
Peg Stewart, School Board
Chair requested the Bylaws reference the need for a developer to submit a
school impact statement for all projects of 4 new homes or greater. The
Planning Commission discussed this request and decided not to change the
Bylaws. A better option would be for
the Zoning Administrator to regularly give the School Board information
regarding new homes built. The requested changes to the Bylaws from the
Selectboard continued to be discussed.
9:00 PM M. Hunziker made a motion to adjourn. R. Wimble second. All in
favor.
Next meeting will be another workshop on August 29,
2006.
Respectfully Submitted,
Cathy Raymond, Planning and
Zoning Assistant
