I <br />Commissioner i~iarshall presented this agenda item. The January 23rd <br />public hearing was held open to receive the Planning Board's recommendation <br />on this development and subdivision. <br />NOTE: Because this is a special use permit procedure, parts of the <br />following is verbatim. <br />Vice-Chair ASarshall explained that Hampton Dawns would be considered as <br />presented in the agenda and at the January 23rd public hearing which was <br />held open to receive the Planning Board's recommendation on both the Hampton <br />Downs Planned Development and the Subdivision Phase I. <br />A:arvir. Collins, Director of Planning, presented the following <br />information: The Planning Board considered a number of item's and made the <br />recuired findings. Collins went through the findings and the final Planning <br />Board recommendation. One of the first decisions made was in regard to <br />article 8.8 concerning special uses which had to do with the regulations <br />governing the individual special uses and in particular the planned <br />development requirements and application requirements. A list was supplied <br />to the developers of all the planned development requirements and <br />application requirements. The Planning Board found that the applicant had <br />complied with all the requirements of 8.8. The second consideration was <br />article 8.2.1(b) where they had to make findings concerning compliance with <br />specific rules governing the special use. One of the first things <br />considered had to do with the provision in the ordinance which allows for <br />modification--in particular the 100 foot buffer requirement for planned <br />development. There was a motion to grant the modification but it failed due <br />to a lack of a second and the Planning Board moved that the developer be <br />required to adhere to the 100 foot buffer on all sides and this motion <br />passed. In regard to the finding effect on article R.2.1(b) the Planning <br />Board recommended finding that the developer was not in compliance with all <br />the requirements and that they had not complied with the 100 foot setback. <br />__ The next finding of fact that is required to be made concerned Article <br />8.2.2(a) that the use will or will not promote the public, health, safety, <br />- and general welfare. One of their major concerns was the traffic generated <br />by the development and the access points to the development. The Planning <br />Board recommended finding that the applicant had not complied with Article <br />8.2.2(a) due to the fact that the traffic generated by development would use <br />John Breckenridge Drive and other local residential streets for access. The <br />next article in which a finding had to be made was article 8.2.2(b) which <br />concerned whether or not the use would maintain or enhance the value of <br />continuous property. There was some discussion on this and the motion ar <br />action taken indicated compliance with the buffer strip requirement was <br />lacking and although no specific evidence was presented at the hearing which <br />+on,,l ri ;nr;; rata tha;- tha lark of tha 10(1 fnnt htiffar wnttld r7 []VArRPIV a'Ff ect <br />
