REVIEW OF ZONING ORDINANCE:
Board members reviewed Article 2, Non-Conformances, of the zoning ordinance. Jim Roberts clarified several points:
• 2.4.a, Relocation: the reason for specifying the types and percentages of certain trees is to preserve the native vegetation
• 2.5, Reconstruction or Replacement: The number of months quoted within the first paragraph was questioned; Jim will review the wording for continuity.
• A correction was made to the paragraph at the top of page 12, changing "one year" to 18 months.
• 2.7, Expansions can be structures (such as adding a room) or use (such as expanding hours of use.)
• A non-conforming use that is discontinued for more than a year may not be resumed. This does not apply to a residential structure, as long as it has been used or maintained for residential use during the preceding five years.
• One non-conforming use may be changed to another as long as it does not have a greater adverse impact.
Article 3 will be reviewed next month.
New Business: None discussed.
The meeting adjourned at 7:45 PM. The next meeting will be Tuesday, December 3, 2013, 7:00 PM.
