SITE PLAN AMENDMENTS - PUBLIC HEARING
AMENDMENT # 1.This amendment would add a new section, Design Review Guidelines, to the Windham Site Plan Regulations. Mr. Turner reviewed the proposed ordinance and Mrs. Crisler provided a new sketch B2, pedestrian safety. The following sections were amended 1202, 1203.8, 1204.4, 1204.5, 1205.1.1, 1205.1.3, recoding of section1205, 1206.4, 1207 and 1208. Mr. Peter Griffin questioned the implementation of the document and this procedure will come under the process of site plan review. Discussion followed the merits of including the guidelines in the zoning ordinance to allow an appeal process. Mrs. Crisler has been advised by the Office of State Planning to have as much as possible in the site plan regulations. Mrs. Crisler motioned to approve the Design Review Guidelines as an amendment to the Site Plan Regulations, as amended and Mr. Morris seconded. Passed 4-1 (J. Gattinella opposed). Mr. Gattinella explained his reasons for opposition were not criteria but the manner of implementation and felt that placing the document in the site plan regulations, rather than the zoning ordinance, did not give adequate due process.
AMENDMENT # 2.This amendment would allow the collection of site plan review fees identical to the subdivision review fees for consultants review fees. Mr. Rouillard motioned to adopt amendment # 2 as written and Mrs. Crisler seconded. Passed 5-0.
