Planning and Zoning Commission Page 2 Meeting of May 18, 2011 vacant and undeveloped land over the next several years. The Mariner’s felt this study should be taken into consideration when talking about the Waterfront District. Mr. John Farnham of 902 Grey Fox Lane addressed the Commission. The first item he brought up was the $5,000 bond for Parcel 16 for landscaping. He would like it used to fulfill the landscaping site plan that was submitted. Mr. Farnham discussed the pathway that was eliminated at the West Hill Estates. He doesn’t feel this matter has had a final resolution. There is a State Statute that applied to both the Parcel 16 matter and the West Hill Estates matter. According to this Statute, “the declarant shall complete all improvements depicted on any site plan, other graphic representation, including any survey or plans prepared pursuant to Section 47.228, whether or not the site plan or other graphic representation is contained in the public offering statement or not.” Mr. Farnham said the developers have an obligation to complete the site plans as proposed. Mr. Farnham then referenced the Town’s Charter, Section 608 stating that, “there shall be a Planning and Zoning Commission appointed by the Town Council consisting of 5 members and 3 alternate members to be appointed on the first Council Meeting in January following the bi-annual election for 2-year terms. No more than three members and two alternate members of the said Commission shall be members of the same political party.” Mr. Farnham said he things the Commission may be in violation of this Charter and asked for an explanation. Mr. Farnham was concerned that items were being approved on the Consent Agenda that would not allow the public an opportunity to comment. Chairman DiLorenzo said the three items on the Consent Agenda regarding changes to Zoning Regulations are only for approval to send them to a public hearing at a future date. If there is any objection to something being approved on the Consent Agenda the public can address that during the Public portion of any meeting, prior to the approval of the Consent Agenda. 3. ADOPT THE AGENDA A MOTION was made by Commissioner Vasel to adopt the Agenda with the following changes: • Add under Agenda Items, item E. Wal-Mart Clothing Bins • Add under Agenda Items, item F. Discussion of Route 3 Traffic Study Commissioner Goldberg noted that there was a memo from Kim Ricci, Director of Planning and Building regarding the Consent Agenda. Kim suggested removing items C & D if the Commission wanted to discuss whether or not to send them to a public hearing. The Board agreed to send C & D to a public hearing. Seconded by Vice Chairman Goldberg. All were in favor, MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 4. CONSENT AGENDA
