JOYCE SULLIVAN DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
APPLICATION: Mr.
Michael Strange, who is one of the tenants, spoke on behalf of the application.
They are leasing the home for one year. The lease will be up in February. They
would like to move the portable metal building into the backyard and they will
take it with them when the lease is up. The portable building will be 10’ x
16’.
Mr. Eady
asked if it would have electricity and Mr. Strange said it would not. Mr. Eady
and Mr. Schwartz noted that the setback requirements would be met. Mr. Schwartz
and Jody Reid had been at the site earlier in the week and measured the
setbacks for the proposed location for the portable building.
Upon motion of Mr. Manson, seconded
by Ms. Gaither the request for the development permit was approved as
submitted. The vote was unanimous including Ms. Harris on the telephone.
DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION CHECKLIST: Mr. Eady introduced the discussion
of a checklist which would be given to applicants along with the development
permit application. This is something that the Planning Commission had used
several years ago. During the discussion the Planning Commission modified the
checklist. Mr. Schwartz is going to make the changes and start using the
checklist whenever anyone requests a development permit application.
ADJOURNMENT: Mr. Eady adjourned the meeting at 7:28
PM.
