Lincoln
Hill Parcel Sketch Plan Exercise:
The Planning Commission toured and
developed hypothetical development sketch plans for a VT Fish and Wildlife
parcel on Lincoln Hill Road as part of the rural area density & rezoning
effort. The exercise is intended to
serve as a learning experience for Commissioners and to produce some
demonstration materials that we can use at fall public meetings to explain new
rural area zoning provisions as these are hashed out. The
Commissioners met briefly at the Town Office, and then proceeded to the site. After the site visit they returned to the Town Office to discuss the parcel’s natural resource features as well as development opportunities and challenges. Each Commissioner did some sketching of possible development plans using the draft area-based density allowances prepared by the Director of Planning & Zoning – i.e., conventional/base density of 9 units, and a PUD/maximum density of 15 units.
The meeting adjourned at approximately 10:00 p.m. The
next Planning Comm. meeting is scheduled for August 27th, 2008.
Respectfully Submitted:
Director of Planning & Zoning
