Planning & Zoning Board May 8, 2002 Page 2 APPROVED MINUTES V.ACTION ITEMS A. Nadeau, 20 th Ave., Site Plan Review Staff presented the application by Pete and Norma Nadeau and stated applicants had applied for a Site Plan Review for the relocation of their existing home. The home, constructed in 1976, was currently located at 6644-20 th Avenue on a 9.27 acre parcel which was zoned Rural and guided for Low Density/Medium Density Residential under the 2001 proposed Comprehensive Plan. She st ated the Nadeaus’ had recently sold the land on which the house was sited, and wished to move the house across 20 th Avenue to a 13.5 acre parcel they own, which was zone d Rural and guided Low Density, Sewered Residential.
