MAY 27, 2003
PRESENT : Supervisor Douglas Austic ; Councilpeople Sue Poelvoorde, Carolyn
Duddleston, Lee Scott and Robert Weatherby; Alex Rachun, Code Enforcement Officer;
Marsha L. Georgia, Town Clerk
Opened meeting at 5 : 30 P . M .
Article XVII — Administration
Mr. Austic stated that our attorney has some questions and/or changes that need to be
made in this section.
Design Standards
They talked about setting categories under design standards . The Board revisited the
Agricultural District they discussed permitted accessory uses , one of the categories would
be residential and the farm worker residence, adult & care group , bed & breakfast, elder
cottage, and lodge would be under those design standards . Another standard could be
Home Occupation Standards and do standards for home occupations, professional office .
Small Business standards and have kennel under that . Permitted accessory uses such, as
cemetery would be regulated under state standards .
*Note — Alex stated that he thinks it has been overlooked in the new zoning to address
some sort of standards in the residential district for animals — we have this in our current
zoning that could be used .
There may have to have standards for bigger type businesses such as hospitals, nursing
homes, and life care facilities . Library and museums may need standards for lighting and
parking, general standards . The Board is trying to list things that now do not have
standards for that they may need .
Ms . Poelvoorde stated that the Board is recommending that multiple residence and
manufactured home park districts be eliminated but that the standards stay and maybe be
added to . When we talked about these two districts we had said that it does not make any
sense to have these two districts that can be put anywhere ' s . We have a couple that we
have identified . The ordinance states that they can go into R1 and Hamlet Districts . The
standards for the two districts may have to be beefed up especially manufactured home
standards .
The Board went back to uses / standards — fraternal goes into miscellaneous , golf courses,
large business , such as Residential Care/Assisted Living Facilities , hospitals, and nursing
homes although they will go through site plan review .
Discussion followed on page 62 involving exemption of site plan review with buildings
less than 4000 square feet in Article VIII - Multiple Residence District, Article IX —
Manufactured Home Park District, Article XII — Hamlet Business District, and Article
XIV — Light Industrial District . *Note — Some of these districts have been thought to be
taken out.
The list that needs standards is as follows :
Residential Standards - Farm worker residence
Home occupations — Lodge, Bed & breakfast, Professional office
Animal standard
Small Business — cottage industry, kennel
Miscellaneous — hunting club, fraternal organization
Planting buffers

Mr. Austic asked Alex who should come up with these additional standards . Alex
suggested that may be have the planning board do it. Ms . Poelvoorde stated to Alex that
he knows he will be working with them . So if you wanted to outline for "farm worker
residence ask yourself "what do we need that we do not have" in the design standards .
Same for lodge, bed & breakfast, professional office, cottage industry, kennel, hunting
club and fraternal organization.
Discussed what needed to be added to parking standards :
18.3 Standards for Parking in All Zoning Districts

Bed & Breakfast — 1 space for each room, or 1 space for every 2 beds
