B.     Request for Site Plan Modification - Michael Montgomery – 2 Fifth Ave. – modifications to east side elevation

 

Mike Montgomery, 373 Planters Dr., indicated that the site plan was revised widening the sidewalk and adding outside doors where a bathroom had been replaced with seating.

 

The Building Official pointed out that the sidewalk provides better egress and the doors give aesthetic balance.

 

It was clarified that the changes would have no effect on parking or landscaping.

 

Mr. Bertel moved to approve the site plan modifications as presented.  Mr. Greer seconded.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

      C.  Request for Site Plan Approval – 137-147 Fifth Ave – Damon Pollard, L H Tanner Construction – pave parking area and create onsite retention

 

The Town Manager explained that this is an opportunity to “clean up” the corner and allow the property owner to take care of drainage on site.  He indicated that the plan had been reviewed and approved by the Town Engineer.

 

The Board discussed the dumpster access and concluded that if there were a problem, it would be addressed by Waste Management and the property owner.

 

The Building Official agreed it was a clear improvement.

 

Mr. MacNeill moved to approve the site plan as presented.  Mr. Bertel seconded.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

4.      REPORTS AND DISCUSSIONS

 

A.  Review of Ordinance 04-08 (Permit Requirements for Certain Temporary Signs) for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan

 

            The Town Manager advised that Ordinance 04-08 makes code language consistent with other provisions recently enacted by the Council.

 

Mr. Kleving raised the question of differentiating between “permitted” (allowed) and “permittable” (able to be permitted) signs.  The Town Manager agreed to look into this.

 

Mr. Bertel moved to find Ordinance 04-08 consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Policy 1.1, Objective 1, Future Land Use Element.  Mr. Greer seconded.  Motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Chinault clarified for Mr. Kleving that the technical provisions of the POD ordinance had not been changed.

 

6.      REPORT FROM TOWN PLANNER

 

Mr. Washburn provided an update on the Indian Harbour Beach Comprehensive Plan amendment providing for mixed use.  He advised that there is still no definitive answer from the state.

 

Mr. Washburn also reiterated that parking and drainage would be major concerns if the town were to pursue adding a mixed use district.

 

Mr. MacNeill questioned why developing a tree protection ordinance was struck from the town’s comp plan.

 

Mr. Washburn clarified that most tree protection ordinances exempt single family and duplex sites, but agreed to research the issue with the comp plan.

 

In response to a question from Mr. Kleving, Mr. Chinault advised that the town would be willing to install swales in a residential rights of way at town expense as long as the swale provided some benefit. 

 

The Board discussed ways to make this information available to the public.
