Hillary Farm Paul informed the commission that he has been in contact with Brian Haijes from the McNulty team on the proposed replatting of parts of Hillary .Farm for townhouses. This will require a comprehensive plan revision and a PUD: McNulty is hopeful to have a model ready for this fall's Parade of Homes. Zoning Ordinance We next inquired how the new comprehensive plan will impact zoning. Substantial rewrites of certain sections will be required. Trevor Oliver continued his case from our last meeting and suggests our comprehensive plan will define the "master plan" for all of Gem Lake, particularly thenew mixed .use areas. Zoning will regulate space (setbacks, size and shape of buildings, etc.). Marc Putnam already has language in the back of his concept plans that suggest setbacks and other details required of an effective zoning statement. We again reviewed form -based versus Euclidian zoning in which we will have mixed uses and more intensive commercial uses, especially in the areas currently occupied by, among other businesses, Summit. Mini Storage/Dan's Ailing Auto Repair, etc. The end product will allow for the varied uses we now express as GB, GBH, Retail Business, but. likely without those specific labels for the parcels. It will fall to design review and astute. attention to detail review of proposed plans to make things fall into place. We will regulate the shape and not the use, allowing the lay of the land (including sensitivity to surrounding existing uses) to determine what types of uses wi]1 go where. We also will need to take care with our new residential designations of estate, executive, and "all other" with careful attention to exactly what "all other" will ultimately mean. Note: during this part of the discussion, Chairman Lindner had to leave the premises to attend to personal business (a.k.a. picking up his kids from a softball game). He left at 8:30 and returned at 9:00 while this same discussion was still going on. In that time Trevor appears not to have moVed from the map he was standing in front of.. Comprehensive Plan We closed with a brief update on the plan. We want SEH to have a draft plan ready for our July l Planning Commission meeting, meaning they will have provided the commission and the City Council with a complete draft a week prior to this meeting date. And have a copy posted to the city's website for public review. There being no further business, Lindner adjourned tonight's meeting at 9:20PM. Jim.
