16 Public Hearing, Consider 1St Reading of Ordinance No. 09-06, Amending the Zoning Ordinance
17 to Modify the Allowable Uses within the NB, Neighborhood Business, and the LB, Limited
18 Business and GB, General Business Zoning Districts, Jeff Smyser - City Planner Smyser advised
19 the City Council directed staff to initiate a rezoning of the commercial lot on the southeast corner of
20 the intersection of Birch St. and Hodgson Rd. Consideration of development of that property raised
21 concern about the uses on that site allowed by the zoning ordinance. The Council considers some of
• 22 the potentially allowable uses in the Limited Business zone to be undesirable for this specific site.
23 Examination of the differences between the Limited Business and Neighborhood Business zones led
24 to recommendations to amend the ordinance to change some of the uses allowed in the three business
25 zoning districts.
26
27 City Planner Smyser provided the staff analysis as well as reviewed the staff recommended zoning
28 amendments. He noted the amendment regarding extended care facilities has been removed for
29 further review.

31 Mayor Bergeson opened the public hearing at 6:55 p.m.

33 Mr. Peter Hiliger, Representative for Bruggeman Properties, came forward and read a letter from

36 official record of the meeting.

6 Consider 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 10-06, Rezone Certain Real Property from LB, Limited
7 Business, to NB, Neighborhood Business, Lot 1, Block 16, Millers Crossroads, Located at the
8 Southeast Corner of Birch Street and Hodgson Road, Jeff Smyser — City Planner Smyser stated
9 the subject site is located at the southeast corner of Birch St. and Hodgson Rd. During the recent
10 discussion of site development, it because apparent that the existing zoning classification of the parcel
11 (LB. Limited Business) is inconsistent with the Council's intent when it rezoned the property in
12 September 2003. Specifically, the LB zone provides for auto -orientated uses that are not allowed in
13 the NB, Neighborhood Business zone. The commercial site is abutting and accessed through the
14 Millers Crossroads residential development. The Council wants to minimize impacts on those
15 residents caused by commercial activity. The potential for impacts would increase as traffic
16 increases, and auto oriented uses would increase the potential for increased traffic. Rezoning the site
17 to NB would avoid such impacts.
18
19 City Planner Smyser advised this rezoning should be completed as soon as possible to eliminate
20 uncertainty for this site with immediate development application potential.
21
•22 Mr. Peter Hiliger, Representative for Bruggeman Properties, came forward and read a letter from
23 Bruggeman Properties requesting the City deny the proposed rezoning of the property in question. He
24 asked that the letter be entered into the official record of the meeting.
25
26 Council Member Carlson moved to approve First Reading of Ordinance No. 10-06, as presented.
27 Council Member Reinert seconded the motion.

29 A roll call vote was taken: five yeas and zero nays. Motion carried unanimously.
30
31 Consideration of Resolution No. 06-156, Amending the Foxborough Conservation Easement to
32 Allow for Development Monument Sign, Jeff Smyser — City Planner Smyser advised the Council
33 accepted a conservation easement for Foxborough when it approved the final plat with Resolution No.
34 05-121. The easement is created and described in a document called the "Conservation Easement,
35 Covenants and Restrictions", which was approved with the same resolution.
36
37 City Planner Smyser stated Paragraph 4.D. of that document prohibits the construction of structures in
38 the easement other than stormwater facilities. The developer has constructed a monument sign within
39 the easement and has requested that the City agree to amend the easement document. The sign does
40 not interfere with any of the ecological restoration or management activities.
41
42 Council Member O'Donnell moved to approve Resolution No. 06-156, as presented. Council
43 Member Stoltz seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
