JULY 10, 1997
PRESENT: Supervisor Douglas Austic ; Councilwoman Catherine Stover ; Code
Enforcement Officer Alex Rachun ; Master Plan Members Ruth Kahn, Sue Poelvoorde
and David Tyler.
Supervisor Austic called the meeting to order at 7: 00 pm.
Alex presented what he had put together for Tourist Zoning as follows:
• The purpose of a Tourist zoning designation is to create a balance between
promoting a broad-based tourist industry townwide and maintaining the essential
character of the community that compels tourists and residents to visit and live here.
There shall be three levels within the Tourist Zone designation:
Level 1. Tourist Zone that has the lowest impact on environment and neighboring land.
Such activities would include but not be limited to nature centers, cross country
skiing and special events, such as music and art festivals, overnight campgrounds.
These activities could take place in all zones with Special Permit. Also included,
golf and fitness centers.
Level 2. Activities that would require a substantial buildout and would have a moderate
to high impact on surrounding neighbors. These activities would include inns and
motels, restaurants and convention centers, and seasonal campgrounds. These
activities would take place in designated Tourist Zones.
Level 3. Tourist based activities that would have the highest impact on both land and
neighbors could only go in designated Industrial Zones. Such activities would include
but not be limited to amusement parks, arcades, auto and similar race tracks, and night-
time specific entertainment.
The group discussed the foregoing document and made changes, the document reads as
