16 1 Commissioner McKee seconded. 2 3 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 4 5 6 d. Review of Unified Development Ordinance Text Amendments — Modification 7 of Site Plan Submittal Requirements - Public Hearing Closure and Action (No 8 Additional Comments Accepted) 9 The Board received the Planning Board's recommendation, closed the public hearing, 10 and made a decision on Planning Director initiated text amendments to the Unified 11 Development Ordinance (UDO) in regards to the submission of formal, professionally prepared, 12 site plans. 13 Michael Harvey reviewed the background from the abstract. He said there are three 14 options to choose from, which are detailed on page 7 of the abstract. These options are as 15 follows: 16 - Option A: Leave as is, no change. (i.e. only properties in the University Lake 17 Watershed impacted). 18 - Option B: Amend section requiring all watershed overlay districts with a 6% 19 impervious surface limit be treated the same (i.e. professional site plan). 20 - Option C: Eliminate requirement all together and require professionally prepared site 21 plans only when stormwater thresholds are exceeded. 22 23 Michael Harvey said the Planning Board and Manager's recommendation to amend the 24 UDO, focusing on Option C. He said this does not alter the 6% impervious surface limit. He 25 said the recommendation is outlined on page 2. 26 Chair Jacobs noted that the ordinance is included as attachment 3 on page 14 of the 27 abstract. 28 Commissioner Rich said that she appreciates the inclusion of input from OWASA. 29 Commissioner Dorosin asked Michael Harvey to explain how the change in option 3 30 does not change the requirements for the particular watershed areas. 31 Michael Harvey said the only time a professionally prepared site plan is required for a 32 single family residential project is in the University Lake protected watershed area. This 33 amendment eliminates that specific requirement and bases it only on land disturbance. He said 34 the 6% impervious surface will not be altered and this will still apply to University Lake. He said 35 this will allow for single family residences to no longer need a professionally prepared site plan. 36 A motion was made by Commissioner Rich, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to 37 receive the Planning Board's recommendation, close the public hearing, and/or adopt the 38 ordinance contained in Attachment 3 which authorizes the text amendments to the Unified 39 Development Ordinance (UDO) in regards to the submission of formal, professionally prepared, 40 site plans. 41 42 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 43 44 7.
