Katrina Rife gave a brief overview of the potential zoning ordinances amendments and zoning textural amendments that should be forthcoming. There was no distribution of paperwork since no formal recommendations are being requested at this meeting. The draft will be presented once it is complete. James Craft presented the concept and the reason for the proposed amendment regarding duplex dwellings. Currently, duplex dwellings are permitted in the R1 property he intends to develop, but the provisions for zero lot line setback and lot size and frontage is not specifically addressed. An R1 dwelling w/public water and sewer requires a 20,000 sq ft lot with 100 of frontage. A duplex dwelling would require same if under one ownership, but most duplex dwellings are owned by 2 separate parties with zero lot line between. This issue will be addressed with the proposed text amendment, which is currently being drafted. Stan Watroba presented the initial concept of a 55 and older housing development, which is not provided for in the zoning ordinance. No application has been filed; therefore, no recommendations on this are requested at this time. Upcoming plans -JJ Two for Steamboat property subdivision for duplex development -SADG-11 land development for corner Beshore School Road and N. George St. Motion to adjourn at 9:20pm by Mike M., seconded by Ed and carried unanimously. Page 5 of 5
