5. CORRESPONDENCE: None.
6. PUBLIC HEARING(S): None.
7. DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Chair Balen suggested that the Commission consider item "B", Planning Report,
prior to the review of the Development Code. Mr. Lewis reviewed his written
report. Chair Balen asked Mr. Lewis to check into the number of signs allowed
for the new fish place at the south end of town. Commissioner Uhl suggested that
they may need a reminder about draining the crab cooker as well. Mr. Lewis will
look into both issues.
A. Review of Development Code Additions/Revisions:
Commissioner Perry reviewed his written suggestions. Discussion ensued regarding
the current code, which references other sections of the code, and whether it
might be easier to follow if the specifics were listed within each zone. Then a
lengthy discussion ensued regarding the possibility of expanding the boundaries
of the Downtown District, and the types of uses that should be permitted.
Consensus of the Commission was to have Mr. Lewis prepare a list of the
permitted uses and review the maps for possible expansion of the area. The topic
will then be taken up at the next Planning Commission meeting. A brief
discussion ensued regarding the types of improvements that could be implemented
to enhance the appearance of the Highway 101 and Highway 34 entrances to town.
B. Planning Report: Previously reviewed.
C. Other Issues: None.
8. ADJOURNMENT: At 8:00 p.m., there being no further business to come before the
Commission, Commissioner Meatzie moved to adjourn. Commissioner Cutter seconded,
and the motion carried unanimously on a voice vote.
Respectfully submitted,
Reda A. Quinlan
