PRESENT: Peloquin, Greger, Hanson (6:25), Houle (6:40) McAllister
and Peltier. Mayor LaV-.Ile and Carl Dale were also present.
The main discussion centered on the pros and cons of the incentive
coning as presented in the report of Carl Dale dated July 20, 1979.
Mr. Dale stated incentive zoning would provide, maintenance of open
space, keep minimal amount of public expense, and more house.4,lon
40 acres. Certain restrictions would be placed on the property and
not the owner. Peloauin could foresee the problem of trying to en-
force these restrictions. The Conservancy zone was then discussed.
LaValle stated that the 20 acre minimum was set up for problem areas
for development, but if .t-, buildable site could be provided, the
land could be rezoned. •.cAllister felt that the present zoning re-
quirements have worked adequately through the past years. Each
case could be handled on an individual basis.
Motion made by McAllister, seconded by Peltier, that the July 20th
planning report regarding incentive zoning not be given future
consideration for implementation into the new Comprehensive Plan.
McAllister withdrew his moti on. This matter might be discussed at
a later time.
