VO~i'E: Ayes, 3; Does, 2 (Commissioners Lloyd and Iti~alker) 2. PROP05ED AF•IEPIDI•IENTS TO TFIE ZOP.ING_ O J - G Collins indicated that the proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance - Articles 4,5,6, and 7 vrere also presented at Public FIearing on November 28, 1983. These items were deferred for the same reasons as the zoning of Cheeks Township was deferred. Comments from the CTAC were as follows: 1. Ir_dustrial and commercial areas should be allowed, using safe conditions now proposed in watershed protection areas. Low water users and nonhaaarous or toxic users should be permitted. If this is not acceptable the very least that ~,~ould be accepted is industrial and commercial users be permitted by special use permit. 2. F•7here public sewage is available, industrial, commercial and resident users should not only be allowed but encouraged to hook onto .. these facilities, thus reducing pollution from septic tanks. 3. Impervious surface ratio should be increased to l2~ on residential lots. 4•. Lot size minimum of one acre should be allowed for single family residents. tlost lots that have been created in Cheeks Township have been two acres or more. The Cheeks Township Advisory Council feels that with the buffer and setback requirements there is enough watershed protection to allow one acre lots. 5. Ordinance X6.23.5 Undisturbed area - each lot should be evaluated and a plan adopted to minimize erosion during construction and landscaped land use of adjacent areas should also be considered. This should be done instead of the current undisturbed area ratio. The Planning Hoard, at their September 24 meeting, voted to reaffirm their previous recommendation on the proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance in Articles 4,5,6 and 7. i•7illiam Dorsett requested to make one more recommendation: the first one half ir_ch of infiltration not necessary except for major cnnr3 i c-i Gi r.n :~rni ~ri-~.
