Selectboard Meeting

October 27, 2003

Attending the meeting: Lynn Gardner, Andrea Morgante, Jon Trefry, Randy Volk, Jeanne Wilson, Stewart Pierson, Steve Russell

The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Lynn Gardner at 7:00 pm.

Discussion on Adoption Procedure for Zoning Regulation: Subsequent to the October 20, 2003 meeting, it was learned that according to statute, the Selectboard may not amend the Zoning Regulation less than fifteen days prior to the public hearing. The Board’s action of amending and adopting the Zoning Regulation at the October 20 meeting was invalid.

Jon moved that the Board vote to rescind the action of the Selectboard at the meeting on October 20, 2003 to adopt the Zoning Regulation. Seconded by Andrea and approved, three to one with Lynn voting against. (this action does not impact the adoption of the Subdivision Regulation, which was adopted on October 20, 2003, as presented by the Planning Commission on September 18, 2003).

Jon moved that the Board vote to rescind the four amendments to the Zoning Regulation made at the meeting on October 20, 2003. These amendments were as follows:

1) to add residential uses as a conditional use in Industrial District 1;

2) to increase from 600 square feet to 1000 square feet the maximum area of an accessory apartment in an accessory structure;

3) to allow contractor’s yards with access from a Class 3 road;

4) to add stormwater treatment facilities to the list of areas that do not count toward the required percentage of open space in a PRD/PUD.

Seconded by Andrea and approved, three to one with Lynn voting against.

Jon moved that the Board vote to adopt the Zoning Regulation as presented by the Planning Commission on September 18, 2003. Seconded by Andrea and approved, three to one with Lynn voting against.

Appointment to the Selectboard: The Board continued their discussion of an appointment to fill the vacancy on the Board until March 2, 2004. No consensus on the issue was reached at this meeting.

Andrea made a motion to adjourn at 8:00 pm. Seconded by Jon and approved.

Respectfully Submitted,

Jeanne Kundell Wilson
