1 . Old Business from last meeting :
Review/Approval of minutes-
Mr. Smith asked if the members had reviewed the previous minutes sent as well as the
draft sent. The members stated they had, he asked the members for approval of minutes
and draft.
Mr. Cool MADE the MOTION, Mr. Kerness SECONDED the MOTION. The vote was
unanimous MINUTES and DRAFT APPROVED .
Mr. Smith stated they had made awesome progress. He noted Mr. Kerness had prepared
chart and information to present for Section 1 . 5 he asked Mr. Kerness to present the
information.
Mr. Kerness distributed updated copies of the information he had prepared at an earlier
meeting. The members reviewed and the discussion included a lot that would not meet
the requirements for lake frontage . Using a variance on a consistent basis is indicative of
bad zoning. Using setbacks for the R1 district seemed logical as that is the area this area
is currently in, lengthy pros/cons on using the 15 foot setback concluded with agreeing
with the numbers as presented. Some lots that would not be buildable now due to 2 acres
would be buildable due to decrease to 1 acre. Using the house setback from road vs . right
of way was discussed. Route 89 has a wide range of right of way due to curves, state
owned property etc on this highway. The decision to use right of way vs . road was agreed
upon by the members .
Mr. Kerness stated he would like to prepare the edits in a word document for inclusion
into the draft for the next meeting.
Mr. Cool MADE the MOTION, Mr. Smith SECONDED the MOTION to include Section
1 . 5 with appropriate edits into the draft.
The vote on the MOTION was UNANIMOUS , MOTION APPROVED .
Mr. Smith noted the Draft would be sent, he would like to charge the members with
• reviewing the draft for the next meeting. They would be fine tuning Mr. Hawkes
information then hopefully reviewing the entire document . He wanted to remind all the
areas can be reviewed, fine tuned, etc .
The meeting was adjourned at 7 : 40pm
