Christopher Schmelzenbach, P.E., Zoning Administrator
7:07 pm
Existing zoning/building permit application form was discussed. A draft revised application form and supporting materials was presented by Christopher Schmelzenbach, ZA. Discussion ensued relative to whether the $100.00 application fee associated with review by the Development Review Board was additional to the standard application fee of $60.00. Fee history is to be reviewed and presented in future meetings to ensure consistency.
Clarification for
when a Zoning Permit was discussed, the $2,000.00 threshold was also discussed
and how this figure is determined as to “Value” vs. “Cost”. Alteration /
revisions to these regulations would need to be addressed as a Zoning Bylaw
revision.
Specificity of
plot plan requirements was discussed as it relates to large parcels.
The Town Plan was
discussed. The “10 bullet” checklist as found within the Vermont Municipal
and Regional Planning and Development Act -Title 24 Sect. 4382 , (pg 24 – 25)
was reviewed as each item within needs to be addressed in the Town Plan
document.
It was suggested
that it be investigated whether the Town Plan Document is available in a Word
format.
The Town of Wallingford’s interim flood regulations were discussed with specific focus on Rebecca
Pfeiffer, VT DEC response to posed clarifications dated 12/18/2009. The
requirement for compliance certification was discussed. It was generally agreed
that this should be the responsibility of the applicant through consultation
with a Professional Engineer who would ultimately provide the Municipality a
stamped/certified statement of compliance. The “requirement” that present
reference to Commercial projects be revised to read Non-Residential was
discussed along with its correlation to reference within current Municipal
Zoning Bylaws.
Affordable
Housing was discussed with correlation to proposed undertakings within the Town
of Mt. Holly.
No new business
was discussed.
Meeting adjourned
at 8:36 p.m.

Submitted,
