Citizens Advisory Committee
Minutes April 8, 2008
The meeting opened at 7:35 pm. In attendance are Brendon Deyo, Stan Benning
and Eric Wenger. The minutes from the March meeting were approved as corrected.
Discussion regarding the special exception proposal
submitted by DCPJ Holdings LLC to the Board of Appeals was reviewed. The CAB members should review permitted and
special exception uses and make recommendations on modifications to the current
list. The uses should focus on low density commercial.
Eric Wenger discussed the presentation Mr. & Mrs.
Buffington gave to the Mayor and Council regarding the possibility of
annexation into the Town of Laytonsville. Further study would need to be done
on how the property would be accessed via a direct Town route. They would need
to present a reasonable benefit to the town in order to be annexed. A suggestion was made that the Buffingtons
may wish to poll their neighbors about being included in an annexation,
therefore adjoining the town from Warfield Rd.
It should be included as a site of possible annexation for future
consideration.
The roundabouts envisioned for Warfield, Rt 108 and
Brink as well as Brink at the future by-pass are to be included in the
Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Benning
suggested that a future round-about may be of consideration at the north end of
108 near the town limits to transition traffic coming into town. The plan should state the maximum expansion
possible (even if never realized) in order to satisfy the requirements of 66B.
Mr. Deyo has been working on reordering the electronic
copy of the plan and will forward a copy to Eric upon completion.
The current maps, (zoning, land use, etc) should be
standardized for more flexible use and in the form that the state and county
are using. The county only accepts maps
in certain formats. A call will be made
to Cathy Buit seeking to find out if MNCPPC has our maps and what format are
they in. The state is looking to have all the maps in GIS form. Once the maps
are produced in GIS form, our water resources element can be written by the
state.
Mr. Benning asked about the work force housing
element. Mr. Wenger responded that Mr.
Stadler has this information prepared to include in the plan.
The next meeting is scheduled for May 13, 2008.
The meeting was concluded at 8:12pm
Respectfully submitted,
Sheree Wenger
Secretary
