Q. <br />Is the intent, if we go with the bulk plane, that the F.A.R. if it were lower, still be <br />the controlling factor? <br />A. That would be one of the decision points to make. You could just leave it at the bulk <br />plane. That would give you an effective limit which we were trying to calculate. <br />Maybe on the small lots a 55% F.A.R. may be appropriate. <br />Q. Are we on a time table of getting this done and to Council? <br />A. Chairperson Boulet - Not than I am aware of. Peter Kernkamp - We would hope to <br />get this done in the next two to three months. By having these regular meeting staff <br />has been forced to make progress. Depending on the direction, we would possibly <br />have a public hearing in March. Taking into account that we want as much publicity <br />as possible. I would not like to see this go into the summer months. <br />Chairperson Boulet - We have other things we need to address down the road. One is the <br />commercial development standards, especially for the Southeast sub area. Another is trying to <br />deal with the down town commercial zone, and come up with something that will help revitalize <br />down town development. I would anticipate we would finish with this by March or April at the <br />latest. I am still not sure which is the best way to go, mainly because I don't know enough about <br />the bulk plane. Maybe we can decide by the end of the next meeting and have a draft ordinance <br />by March, with a public hearing in April. <br />Tom McAvinew - I am still not sure which way to go either. Maybe it would help if staff could <br />generate some kind of plus and minus checklist. I don't care which we use along as we meet the <br />goals and it is easy to administer. We need to balance those things. <br />Betty Solek - I think those sound like good criteria to be evaluated. I would like to add the solar <br />access issue as well. Because of the solar access I would tend to favor the bulk plane. <br />Peter Kernkamp - I think I have good some direction. I will get some more information on the <br />administrative end of the bulk plane. We will try to come back with a checklist that has <br />advantages and disadvantages and try to relate it in terms of purposes. I have a list of four major <br />purposes, maintain the character of Old Town, limit the scale of future development so that the <br />Old Town area so it is not out of character, encourage pedestrian uses of Old Town and solar <br />access. <br />Chairperson Boulet - I would add to that to maximize home owner flexibility and the ease of the <br />process from the individuals standpoint. <br />Q. Any code issues to be looked at? <br />A. That is probably the next step as to formatting this in a form that could be recorded <br />as a PUD. Along with any ordinance changes that may be necessary, such as <br />grandfathering clauses, building code issues, etcetera. <br />Meeting Adjourned at 8:45 p.m. <br />9 <br />
