Planning & Zoning Board January 22, 2003 Page 3 • Page 2 -29, a paragraph will be added stating that appeals were available through the process described in section 2. • • Mr. Corson asked if it was a relatively small application, was there any possibility of having a maximum fee in order not to discourage the homeowner from making an application. Mr. Smyser replied a small application does now have a small fee. He stated the fee was $250.00 for a variance or a minor subdivision, and if that amount were not completely used, it would be refunded to the homeowner. Page 2 -33, subdivision 6, with respect to Metes and Bounds Conveyances was deleted. Page 2 -36, added that the Community Development Director shall be the Zoning Administrator. Page 2 -39, the main part of the PUD changed. Under the current ordinance a PUD is treated as a rezoning. What was being proposed was that a PUD would be a conditional use within each zoning district, in most cases. He noted this would simplify the PUD. A mixed use PUD project will require a special rezoning. Page 2 -43, paragraph C, deals with rural residential development without City sewer and water. He noted under this process lots would be allowed to be smaller than the standard for a rural area, as long as open space was preserved. Page 2 -47, a clause would be added that in a rural cluster development they would allow the possibility of having a common septic system. However, it must be in agreement that if it was not maintained properly, the City can fix it and assess the property owners. Page 2 -47, paragraph 2, urban residential PUD shall be applied only within the City's R- 2, R -3 and 4 -2 Zoning Districts. He noted this was discussed at length at the Task Force to deal with clustering single - family homes. A new R -EC zone is proposed for clustering. Page 2 -50, the process for PUD would in general follow the platting process. He noted the language would be changed some noting that the concept plan was voluntary. He noted the density of the PUD must comply with the land use category in the Comprehensive Plan and the purpose was to preserve open space. Mr. Corson asked how the density was calculated. Mr. Smyser replied it was calculated by the delineated wetland being subtracted. He noted this would need further clarification. Mr. Corson asked if they expected anything from the Land Trust, other than the perpetual easement. Mr. Smyser replied that typically when the Land Trust took on an easement, there was a legal document recorded that stated the Land Trust takes on the easement responsibility, and would be responsible to monitor it on a regular basis. However, the landowner is responsible for what occurs on the land. He noted not all open space would be set up with the Land Trust. He stated some open land may be donated to the City. DRAFT MINUTES
