Update to Remaining Changes to zoning/Subdivision/Site Plan Regulations

The Commission reviewed the Master List of Suggested Changes and then reviewed and critiqued the suggested changes to from the last December Commission meeting. The commission then reviewed the suggested changes from Zoning Administrator Morlan on signs and temporary signs. After discussion amongst the commission and attendees, it was agreed to increase the size for temporary signs to 24sqft; change the time a temp sign to be allowed to be displayed to “… and not more than 21days, six times a calendar year; and temporary signs will require a sign permit, but it will not be charged a fee.

Chris Morlan asked if the review of Site Plan Regs should be done at a different time and they concentrate on the items discussed since they seem to be more of a needed change at this time.
