Call to order and Pledge of Allegiance Mr. Howe called the meeting to order *recording did not start until 7 minutes into the meeting. 2. Persons to be heard and Board Comments (Attachment 1) Andrew Molnar, Jeff Zorn and Marie Skweir spoke about 5G and public health concerns and increased exposure to radiation levels that are untested, the lack of regulation and research on those concerns. They also spoke about the aesthetics of the installations and whether once they are up, if information comes to light that they are detrimental, it will be hard to make companies remove them. Ms. Rosa asked that the speakers forward the written statements for attaching to the minutes. Sheriff Osbourne Mr. Howe explained that he had reached out to the Sheriff after the recent big truck getting stuck at the Forest Home curve and he had asked him here to answer any questions the Board might have and for him to ask any questions he had of us. He added that he hopes this can happen once or twice a year. Sheriff Osbourne introduced Undersheriff Jennifer Olin and thanked the Board for inviting him. recent issues that are across the United States right now. He was happy to answer any questions. Mr. Howe asked him if he could give a snapshot of the types of calls in the Town. Sheriff Osbourne said they are the same as throughout the County; a lot of traffic complaints, domestics since COVID have risen steadily; but nothing too dramatic. He said when he ran for the office, he thought the Town of Ithaca was under-served as far a law enforcement goes, for whatever reason and he knows the way the patrol zones are set up, every zone has a little bit of the Town in it due to geography, and he has tried to address that to provide better service to the Town. . ЋЉЋЉΏЉЏΏЉБ tŭ͵ Њ Sheriff Osbourne said he did push for two new deputy positions, which were approved. One was filled through money in the budget through overtime savings through better management of overtime and the second was new funding from the County. The idea is to have these two deputies specifically assigned to community relation type events and to have them stationed more around the Town and City to make up for that lack of coverage. The deputies are still in the academy and there are two officers on long-term disability pending retirement, but it is coming. Sheriff Osbourne said he does receive complaints throughout the County and the Town all the time and you hear things I do not, like the issues in Forest Home, so he was ready to listen to anything the Board had to say or ask. Mr. Howe asked if there is a log of Town calls or a summary? Sheriff Osbourne responded that everything they respond to is tracked in their records management system and he would be happy to supply that to the Town. the parking was excessive and unsafe in that area and we told the Botanic Gardens to call the himself but knows it has been going on for years and we automatically start enforcing those types of issues during the spring and summer months. Mr. DePaolo asked if there have been incidents at the East Shore Park down near Merrill Sailing Center. There are a lot generally calm down there. the issues they are running into is the number of complaints regarding social distancing and unlawful gatherings and things like that. He said they have worked with the Health Department to respond to those types of complaints, but it is almost too much to keep up with and they are shared with other agencies. For the most part, people have been pretty cooperative and we have not had any arrests; it is a matter of education and asking them to disperse. Mr. DePaolo asked what the guidelines are regarding public congregation. Sheriff Osbourne said it is still 10 and under. Mr. Goodman asked about an issue from 5 or 6 years ago when we were hearing there was a high number of calls to the Overlook complex across from the hospital. At one point we had a joint . ЋЉЋЉΏЉЏΏЉБ tŭ͵ Ћ meeting with the DA and the Sheriff at the time to talk about it and from what we heard at that He asked his opinion on that. remembers that meeting as he was Unders of unhappy people there, but the unfortunate reality is that with housing like that, sometimes there are higher call volumes for a variety of reasons, but that particular one seems to have died down over the years. He added that lately, there have been a lot of demands from the housing unit in Lansing. Last year we were there 49 times in 3 months for a variety of reasons. Mr. Howe thanked the Sheriff and Under Sheriff for coming. 3. Presentation on the New Neighborhood Code NNC (Attachment 2) Mr. Howe introduced the topic saying this is meant as an overview and a fuller discussion at the June Study Session. Mr. Tasman gave PowerPoint presentation. Please see attachment. Ms. Leary commented that there should me a minimum number for parking spaces if for no other reason than to have handicap parking spaces. Some business owners would be happy to have no parking at all, but it is a real hardship for people who need a parking space near the building and there should be some provision for that. Mr. Tasman responded that it is something the Committee has been talking about. The parking requirements do have to comply with ADA requirements for businesses that have street access. 4. Discuss Gateway Trail Mr. Howe reminded the Board that this is the way we decided to move forward to address some of the concerns we heard and do due diligence and step back to evaluate the existing structure and determine if it has to be removed. TB Resolution 2020 - 082: Supplemental Agreement with Fisher Associates, PE, LS, LA, DPC for the Gateway Trail Project for Additional Design Services to Perform a Structural Assessment of the Concrete Slab and Abutments . ЋЉЋЉΏЉЏΏЉБ tŭ͵ Ќ Whereas, in May 2007 the Ithaca Town Board agreed to authorize and execute all necessary agreements, certifications or reimbursement requests for Federal Aid on behalf of the Town with the NYS Department of Transportation in connection with the Gateway Trail project: and Whereas, in May 2013 the Ithaca Town Board authorized an additional $4,000.00 to increase the funding for the design portion of the Gateway Trail project (TB Resolution No. 2013-077); and Whereas, in March 2019 the Ithaca Town Board authorized an additional $17,000.00 to increase the funding for the design portion of the Gateway Trail project following difficulties obtaining permission for an easement from Home Depot for the trailhead connection into their parking lot (TB Resolution No. 2019-048); and Whereas, in February 2020 the Ithaca Town Board authorized an additional $7,500.00 to increase the funding for the design portion of the Gateway Trail project to obtain additional hydrologic information for the area between Buttermilk Falls Road West and the Home Depot property (TB Resolution No. 2020-033); and Whereas, the Town Board has identified the need for a structural assessment, including recommendations, to be performed on the concrete slab and abutments located between Buttermilk Falls Road West and the Home Depot Property as part of the Gateway Trail project; and Whereas, $7,500.00 is the amount required for the supplemental consultant services to accomplish work described above, now therefore be it, Resolved, that the Town Board approves, authorizes and directs the Town Supervisor to execute a supplemental agreement with Fisher Associates, PE, LS, LA, DPC, to include an additional amount not to exceed $7,500.00 (allocated from A7110.526, Gateway Trail), said supplemental agreement subject to the approval for the Attorney for the Town. Moved: Rich DePaolo Seconded: Tee-Ann Hunter Vote: ayes DePaolo, Hunter, Howe, Goodman, Levine, Leary and Bleiwas Added Agenda Item Shared Driveway Agreement Mr. Thaete gave a quick overview. Mr. DePaolo said that when the sewer exemption was discussed for this subdivision, we also talked about the potential for further subdivision of this lot and what that would require in terms of connecting to the municipal sewer, and he wondered whether it is envisioned in that scenario that this shared driveway would be an access road to those additional lots? Mr. Thaete responded that there is verbiage in the agreement that talks to any modification to the driveway would have to be approved by the Board and dimensionally, it has to be kept as it is. . ЋЉЋЉΏЉЏΏЉБ tŭ͵ Ѝ Mr. DePaolo asked if the current configuration was sufficient to allow access to any future potential lots that may appear? t that they is the only thing this agreement covers. Mr. DePaolo asked if it were to stay dimensionally the same, would it be sufficient to accommodate additional traffic from added lots? Mr. Thaete responded that in his opinion, yes, it would be. Mr. DePaolo asked what they would have to ask for, as far as a modification to this agreement, that you said is affording us the additional review power then. ght for two vehicles to pass right now. Mr. DePaolo said that is his ultimate question; do we have any sort of backstop here to prevent this from being used essentially as an access road for multiple lots? Mr. Thaete said we do not have specific verbiage to stop that. Ms. Brock stated that the Planning Board did not make any conditions prohibiting the driveway being used for additional lots, so she did not know if we have the authority to require that in this agreement. The only reason the Town Boar- Ms. Hunter asked what our level of authority or ability to deny would be at any future review? Or do we not have any ability to deny and simply be reviewing for specifications of the roadway? Mr. Thaete stated that the current agreement talks about the developer keeping the existing access drive in the same dimensional configuration that it currently is and that they would have to come to the Director of Engineering or the Public Works Director to modify that beyond what is currently there. He added, keep in mind that they have not officially come to us for a sewer exemption, we have just talked about it at the Public Works Committee and we talked about putting limitations on that exemption regarding some of these issues you are asking about here. Mr. Goodman added that if there are future shared driveways across our easement, we would have to sign off on those as well. TB Resolution 2020 - 083: Authorization for the Supervisor to sign a Shared Driveway Agreement and Easement associated with the Bostwick Rd Water Tank . ЋЉЋЉΏЉЏΏЉБ tŭ͵ Ў Whereas the Town holds an easement to access the Bostwick Rd Water Tank, located within the subdivision at 311 Bostwick Road, tax parcel no. 31.-5-1.2 and Whereas the owners of 311 Bostwick Rd received Planning Board approval to subdivide the shared driveway, and Whereas the request has been reviewed by the Public Works Committee and the Town Engineer, now therefore be it Resolved that the Town Board does hereby authorize the Town Supervisor to sign the 311 Bostwick Road Subdivision/Shared Driveway Agreement and Easement, subject to approval by the Attorney for the Town. Moved: Eric Levine Seconded: Bill Goodman Vote: Ayes Levine, Goodman, Hunter, DePaolo, Bleiwas, Leary and Howe 5. Discuss and consider approval of Tobacco Free Zone policy Mr. Howe gave an overview saying that last year we passed a resolution prohibiting smoking in town vehicles and on town hall property and this extends that to town parks, trails and preserves. Ms. Drake added that we are doing this as a policy and not a local law. Ms. Bleiwas added that the Personnel and Organizational Committee felt this was a good statement to prohibit smoking, which is dangerous not only to the people who use tobacco products but also to people in the community and it was consistent with our values in the Town. Mr. DePaolo Mr. DePaolo asked if someone wanted to smoke a clove cigarette, is that included in this policy? That is smoking and likewise, it looks like we are trying to foreclose on nicotine products, but what if someone comes into one of our parks with a nicotine patch on? Is that okay? Somebody If what we are trying to do is curtail smoking, do we have just No Smoking signs or our we banning tobacco use? Mr. Howe said the idea was no smoking signs and this is really to send a message. Ms. Leary asked if we are trying to ban any nicotine use such as Nicorette or other smoking cessation products? . ЋЉЋЉΏЉЏΏЉБ tŭ͵ Џ Mr. Howe responded, no, it is really a question of what could produce harm to somebody that is nearby. Ms. Drake said the signs would be the Tobacco Free signs from the County through the Health Department. Ms. Bleiwas added that the policy prohibits tobacco products not nicotine transmission products. Some discussion followed. TB Resolution 2020 - 084: Approval of Tobacco Free Policy Whereas, on June 24, 2019, the Town passed resolution 2019-093c, which prohibited smoking for employees, customers and visitors in Town buildings, Town vehicles, and on Town Hall property (including personal vehicles in the Town Hall parking lot), and which restricted smoking within 25 feet of any public entrance at Public Works; and Whereas, the Personnel & Organization Committee reviewed the Smoking Policy and desired to extend to a tobacco free policy and include Town recreational areas for staff and users; and Whereas, the Town of Ithaca declares that the use of tobacco products (including e-cigarettes and vaping), upon and in Town-owned Parks, Trails, and Preserves is harmful to the health of persons using and enjoying the property; now, therefore, be it Resolved, the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca does hereby establish the Tobacco Free Policy effective July 1, 2020, for staff, Town Board members and committee members, residents, visitors, and contractors and directs that signage be posted at all Town properties. Moved: Pamela Bleiwas Seconded: Tee-Ann Hunter Vote: Ayes Bleiwas, Hunter, Howe, Goodman, DePaolo, Leary and Levine Added Item Town of Ulysses Code assistance extension of MOU Mr. Howe reported that they are very appreciative of our help and it is working out well. TB Resolution 2020 - 085: Authorization for Supervisor to sign an extension of the MOU with the Town of Ulysses for Code Officer assistance Whereas the Town of Ulysses has requested an extension of the MOU approved on May 11, 2020, now therefore be it Resolved that the Town Board approves and authorizes the Town Supervisor to extend the MOU through July 10, 2020.

Discuss and consider approval of revised COVID-19 Personnel Policies Mr. Howe stated that this is the same overall policy with the minor change that we are now Ms. Drake added that there is a statement about vacation time and keeping it under the maximum amount by December. Mr. Howe thanked Ms. Drake for her work through this whole situation and that employees have been grateful that we have kept them employed and paid. He thought we have done this in a very thoughtful and compassionate way. Ms. Bleiwas asked what percentage is still working from home and Ms. Drake responded about 25% with some still alternating days at Town Hall and home. TB Resolution 2020-086: Approval of Established Employment Policies Due to COVID -19 Whereas, the Town Board on March 30, 2020 approved of modified employment policies due to the COVID-19 Pandemic from March 15, 2020 through June 8, 2020; and Whereas, effective May 26, 2020, the Town began opening facilities to the public and increasing the level of staff on site, therefore the following employment policies are recommended by the Town Supervisor: Effective, June 8, 2020, all employees are required to use paid leave accruals for any hours they are not able to meet their normal weekly hours, as COVID Other leave is no longer available.

Employees must not report to work if they have had a fever, vomiting or diarrhea until 24 hours after the symptoms have ceased. Use of sick time accruals is required. Employees that have tested positive for COVID-19 or under a required quarantine will be paid in full without the use of sick time for the length of the required absence. However, employees that are required to quarantine but otherwise able to work and can telework, must maintain their weekly work hours. Those not able to telework due to their position will be paid in full without the use of sick time for the length of the required quarantine.

Employee vacation time accruals will be allowed to extend beyond the maximum allowed but will be required to be brought back within the maximum allowed prior to the accrual on December 1, 2020.

Report of Town Officials Mr. Howe noted that the audit is not in yet; the Moody report came back very good; and the Codes report was sent out. . ЋЉЋЉΏЉЏΏЉБ tŭ͵ ЊЍ Mr. Howe reported that he sent an email out to the Board to see if there was interest in holding a joint Community Forum with the City of Ithaca with the intent to keep it very balanced for both sides. Mr. Goodman added that this is being discussed in detail at the Codes and Ordinances Committee this week and he would like to go into closed session to seek the advice of counsel about some of these issues. Ms. Rosa wanted to tell the Board that we have gotten a lot of compliments and thanks about being open during this time and available to them. continue to provide services to our residents. We would have failed without that strong support from you all. Moved Item Early Retirement Incentive Plan Ms. Bleiwas said the Personnel and Operations Committee has discussed this and it seems pretty straightforward, but there are questions for counsel that will determine whether this is something we consider good for the Town. Ms. Drake added that at this point, we are just discussing in conceptually and wanted to bring those outside of the Committee up to speed on the concept. She noted that this would be a voluntary program, not mandatory. There are a limited number of positions that would qualify and she sent a list of those positions and the potential costs and savings. The simple gist of it is that it is for people who could retire right now because they meet the minimum length of service and age. Mr. DePaolo said there are a couple of assumptions in the first couple of paragraphs that has to do with the effects of the pandemic on the finances of the town. He said it seems we have taken some kind of a hit in sales tax and we just heard that our bond rating is good, so he is wondering what the underpinnings of this concept are; that the town is in dire straights and needs to shed some positions and incentivize the removal of some higher paid staff. He would like to hear more about that. Mr. Howe responded that it has been hard to really get a financial picture. We may come out of this better than we predicted, but it is hard to know what the real effects will be this year and even the next and the next. This was to be a bit proactive in a changing situation. Mr. Goodman added that when the pandemic first hit, and other municipalities started to layoff and furlough employees, he was thinking it would be at least good to explore our options for the future. Although we are not as reliant on sales tax as other municipalities, he is more concerned . ЋЉЋЉΏЉЏΏЉБ tŭ͵ ЊЎ Attachment 1 Hi - my name is Andrew Molnar calling to share my deep concern re 5g coming to Ithaca. There are so many downsides to this, with few benefits. 5G usually entails setting up cell antennas extremely close together - essentially on nearly every block. Now, there are some who say 5G is nothing to be worried about - that it'd be totally safe for humans and the environment. The problem is that the facts say otherwise. Over a thousand peer- reviewed studies worldwide have shown that cell microwave radiation does cause harm to humans and the ecosystem. In fact, as early as 1968, this radiation was established to be a hazard by Congress in the Public Health Service Act. Because of this, over a thousand scientists and doctors worldwide have urged the international community to pause the 5G rollout. And this has led hundreds of US towns, states and even whole countries to pause the rollout. The NY state legislature is also considering a pause for all of NY. In addition to real potential harm to humans and wildlife, there are other downsides: Studies have shown that property values near cell facilities decrease by 5-20%. So less revenue for Ithaca. 79% of people would not live near cell facilities. Powering such new facilities would at least triple our carbon emissions from current facilities. These new poles would be an aesthetic eyesore to our beautiful town. And many are concerned that there will be substantial privacy and surveillance issues. On the other side of the equation, there are actually few benefits to justify the costs. Despite what some flashy ads are saying, what can be done in densely populated cities will be very different than towns like ithaca. For example, unlike what some think, 5G is NOT about getting faster broadband internet at home or to rural areas. The Verizon CEO himself has said that what 5G will bring to places like Ithaca would be equivalent to 4GLTE, which we already have in Ithaca. if any. Another issue concerns the timing of the rollout. Across the country, telecom companies are rushing to roll this out now. But, 2020 is probably the most tumultuous year in our lifetimes, with the pandemic, economic recession, and social unrest. Given that 5G is such a complex and potentially impactful technology, its consideration can wait for things to settle a bit in our culture. The alternative to 5G is to use a recent court decision and force telecom companies to finish the and greener than 5G. Dryden is doing this, and so can we. Moving forward I join with other fellow Ithacans and ask the town to do three things: 1. Go slow on any approval process, holding public discussions on this issue 2. Consider incorporating the code changes that we sent to some of you that help maximize local control and minimize health risk while still allowing companies full voice coverage Attachment 1 3. Do the research on our fiber optic network in Ithaca. The recent Irregulators court case allows Ithaca to get money back and complete installation. Marie Molnar I'm here to share my concerns about 5G potentially coming to the Town of Ithaca. For those of you not familiar with 5G, it stands for the Fifth generation of mobile/cell phone technology. It is not home internet on your computer. 5G includes the past generations of cell phone technology (3G, 4G, etc) plus some new portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. One portion is the never before used mmWave, which cannot travel well and necessitates new cell facilities/antennas every 70-200 feet, in some cases one on every block. These ubiquitous antennas throughout our neighborhoods are the most problematic part of 5G for me. Because of their proximity to home, schools, and workplaces, Ithacans would be involuntarily exposed to a substantial increase in radiation, with no choice to avoid it, aside from moving. What's more disconcerting is that the telecom companies themselves have testified before Congress that they have not tested these antennas for safety, and they cannot and will not guarantee their safety. If you have heard the international outcry around 5G, or seen the "don't experiment on us" signs, this is what's at the heart of it. This is precisely why several European nations, like Switzerland and Belgium, have banned it. In a way, these private telecom companies are acting with the authority and protections, of say public utilities, with none of the accountability. Simply the fact that the FCC has NO safety standards for this technology is upsetting. There is a different than standards to ensure safety. And while there are guidelines for installation, there is absolutely no regulation or monitoring after the installations. Also problematic is that these guidelines were established in 1996, before most of our current technologies existed, and they do not correspond to modern accumulative conditions of RF exposure. While the radiation from the macro cell tower might conform to these guideline limits, the radiation from 5G antennas is on top of that, not replacing it. It seems that Verizon has already approached the city of Ithaca, and I am calling in tonight to urge our Town Board to make sure you and the public are thoroughly informed about this complex issue if it comes to the Town of Ithaca. Thank you for your time. 1)The New Neighborhood Code is a form-based development code that supplements the Town’s existing planning regulations. It sets out consistent and predictable rules and standards for traditional neighborhood development projects, instead of having to come up with separate planned development zones from scratch for each project. 2 The NNC follows or implements 10 top-level goals and 48 recommendations of the comprehensive plan. It’s not tied to one part of the town, but it’s intended to be used in areas the comp plan finds are prime for growth – large intact parcels of land, fairly close to employment centers and the city limits, where current zoning now allows suburban-style development. 3 You’re probably all familiar with traditional neighborhood development by now. New development modeled on walkable pre-WWII villages and neighborhoods, where a variety of mutually compatible uses and types of housing co-exist. 4)The NNC will make it easier to build housing types that are now difficult to build in a conventional subdivision under existing zoning – the range between single family houses on a large lot, and apartment complexes. 5)Commercial areas would take the form of a traditional Main Street, rather than a shopping plaza. 6)The NNC also has provisions that would transform areas with vehicle-oriented commercial development into walkable neighborhoods over time. 7)The Town’s existing zoning code uses separation of uses as an organizing principle. A form-based code focuses on character, or what works well together to create a certain kind of place. 8)We drafted the code with ease of use in mind. The NNC uses plain English, graphics, tables, and other good practices of user-friendly technical and legal writing to make the learning curve for those used to conventional zoning codes as gentle as possible. 9)The NNC is organized around scale of land use, rather than zones. It puts all the requirements about a certain aspect of development together. The Town Board will likely be most involved at the neighborhood planning and rezoning stage, which the first two chapters. 10)Later chapters go into more detail about developing on a lot. 11) The last two chapters cover development review processes, interpretation, and definitions. 12) The neighborhood design chapters work like a cookbook. It sets out the the ingredients different zones, street types, and park types … 13) And offers recipes about how to put those ingredients together to create a TND-based neighborhood that fits into their setting … 14) The NNC sets out four new neighborhood transect zones, ranging from NT-3, where detached housing is most prevalent, to NT-5, for a neighborhood’s main street or village center area. 15) Transect zones can only be used for a TND project. Likewise, a TND project can’t use a conventional zone. 16) In a TND, a street is more than just a right-of-way that allows someone to get from point A to point B, but it serves as a kind of community living room, or part of what planners call the public realm. 17) The NNC requires streets to be laid out in a pattern of interconnected blocks. This allows different ways to get from one place to another, and it also opens up the neighborhood to make it more of an integral part of the town than a complex or cluster. 18) The NNC defines five different street types, and sets out how sidewalks, tree lawns, and roadways are configured for different zones Except for alleys and pedestrian streets, every street will be a complete street. 19) A street in a TND will be more finished than a typical subdivision road in the town. The code requires sidewalks, curbs or gutter pans, landscaped tree lawn areas, and allows on-street parking. 20) Ingredients for a neighborhood also include seven different types of parks, ranging from small pocket parks 21) … up to larger community parks and natural preserves. 22) Parks must be an integral part of a neighborhood, not what you do with the land that’s left over after planning for other uses. Neighborhoods must be designed around parks that are also visible and an integral part of the public realm. Park area must make up 15% of all land in a neighborhood. Every building lot must be within a five minute walk of a park. 23) For stormwater management, a TND will depend more on infrastructure in the public realm , like tree lawns with engineered soil, green alleys, strategically placed water features, and the like. The same on-lot pits-and-ponds approach that a suburban-style project uses could undermine the walkable village-like character of a TND. A train of treatment approach would still need to meet DEC standards. 24) Neighborhood design all comes together in a regulating plan. It’s a master plan for a new neighborhood that shows zones, street alignment, park and civic use sites, development phases, and other features. 25) Creating a regulating plan is a collaborative process that also includes town officials and the public. It may involve a charrette for a larger project. When Town Board approves the end result, the regulating plan becomes official, and the underlying land is rezoned. 26) After the regulating plan, subdivision and development can begin. It must follow the regulating plan. 27) Just like with a conventional subdivision or site plan now, the Town Board won’t be dealing so much with development on individual lots. The NNC uses a much different approach to site-by-site development than our current zoning, so I’ll touch on that a bit. Chapter 4 defines 17 different building types, ranging from a single family house to a large supermarket-sized building. 28) Each zone allows a mix of some building types that are mutually compatible. Not all buildings are allowed in all zones 29) Setback, height, and lot dimensions for each building type vary, depending on the zone it’s in. This allows buildings to fit in better to their setting than the one-size-fits-all setback, height, and lot size requirements that you see in our existing zoning code. 30) New buildings in a TND also need to follow design standards in Chapter 4. Design standards are quantitative, not subjective or discretionary. They don’t say something has to be a Greek Revival or Colonial Revival style, but instead, “it has to respect design principles of balance, contrast, form, proportion, scale, and so on.” 31) Design standards focus on different aspects of a building that can make or break its design. This includes having consistent design on wall visible from public areas, use of cladding and trim, the angle of a sloping roof … 32) Window and door area on a wall, garage door visibility and prominence, mechanical equipment screening, and visual compatibility of accessory structures, specifically gas station canopies. 33) Chapter 4 covers other improvements on a lot, like parking, required landscaping, fence design, service and utility area screening, signs, and lighting. 34) The NNC takes a much different approach to regulating parking than our existing zoning code. It doesn’t require a minimum number of off-street parking spaces; it’s something the market will control. Parking must has solid pavement in most cases. Parking cannot be between a building and the street. The code requires parking lot screening, along with tree planting and landscaped islands and buffers to help with stormwater management and minimizing the urban heat island effect. 35) Chapter 6 defines 42 permitted uses and single purpose structures, the zones that allow or prohibit them, and any conditions that apply. Uses are defined and organized in a simple, logical way. For example, the code has a simple “retail and service: general” use that encompasses a broad range of uses that the existing zoning code lists individually, like florist, hardware store, painting and decorating boutique, bookstore, dressmaker, retail sales of candy and ice cream, pharmacy, and so on. 36) Chapter 7 deals with nonconforming uses and sites, and how to integrate them into a TND over time. Some planners call this “sprawl repair” or “suburban retrofitting.” 37) Part of adopting the new code will include resolving conflicts with some existing provisions in the town code, mainly zoning and subdivision regulations. We’re also working on street and infrastructure construction and engineering standards, and a stormwater design manual, these are less time critical.
