minimum lot size will be 2 acres with a 6~ limit on the amount of area that could be covered with impervious surface. It was also clarified that EC-5 designation would need to be at least one acre, however it would rezone only the area in question. In response to a question from Dick White, Ms. Willis repeated that all current commercial uses would be grandfathered in the ordinance. GEORGE HORTON stated that the Camp, Dresser & McKee watershed study was only one of several studies available. He suggested that other sources be used as well. Mary Willis indicated that the Planning staff would be willing to use other studies to make recommendations if they were found to be accurate and helpful. She commented that the Camp, Dresser & McKee study stated that without the more stringent measures throughout the entire watershed, degradation of the water supply within those watersheds would occur. DICK WHITE requested that existing commercial zoning be considered as an option. Allowing non-conforming uses would allow the continuation of an existing business without opening the area to other commercial development. In response to a question from the audience, Ms. Willis indicated that if a commercial zoning district has not been established, existing businesses would continue as non-conforming. No changes, expansions or rebuilding would be permitted. Where commercial zoning is in place, .rebuilding and expansion would be permitted. The "nodes" themselves are designated in the Comprehensive Plan adopted in 1981. The township elements for Little River and Cedar Grove were adopted in 1986 and the nodes were designated at that time. They have not been applied in terms of the Zoning Ordinance because zoning has not been established in those townships. There are means of creating new activity nodes which generally they provide a community service and are at strategic intersections. In response to a question from Commissioner Willhoit, Ms. Willis indicated that expansion of a previously developed commercial establishment would require that the impervious surface ratio be met. An EC-5 zoning lot could be developed that would be non-conforming because of the impervious surface ratios, however, that lot would not be expandable unless it could meet the impervious surface ratios. Ms. Willis commented that building would be allowed on existing lots provided the dimensional requirements, such as setbacks, are met. A greater issue comes into play with non-conforming lots with a two acre minimum lot size. In the event that the land owner wanted to add an outbuilding, etc. on that lot, the State gives flexibility in dealing with that. The state normally does not require that their standards be met for existing lots even if they are not yet built upon. After the Public Hearing, this issue will be taken into account and specific recommendations
