. • is (3) Retail Trade (a) Art. 4.3 - Permitted Use Table MOTION: Yuhasz recommended approval of the amendment. Seconded by Lewis. VOTE: Unanimous. c. Subdivision Regulations Text Amendments lk (1) Section IV-B-7-b Recreation Sites (Dedication/Payments-in-Lieu Provisions) Best asked if the Dedication/Payment-in-Lieu provision is only in the Subdivision Regulations. Collins responded yes: He continued that there is an equivalent standard in the Zoning Ordinance but it is called RSR (recreation space ratio) which is used for Planned Developments. Best expressed concern that this would be a premature effort in unzoned townships, noting that in the two unzoned townships there would be no way to protect the sites. Collins responded that he felt it states a position by which to obtain the land before development occurs. Jacobs asked the reason for including minor subdivisions. Collins responded it is a question of equity. At the present time, minors in the Joint * Planning Area are excluded from the payment-in-lieu provision. Once a subdivision moves from a minor to a major classification, the developer must make payment-in-lieu for the lots created by the minor subdivision. He noted that creates administrative problems which could be avoided if handled with each subdivision. MOTION: Best recommended approval of the amendment noting that he felt that it is dangerous since the land purchased would be unprotected particularly in unzoned townships. He continued that either zoning or some type of land use protection should be in place for Little River and Cedar Grove Townships. Seconded by Pilkey. She agreed that there should be one standard for the entire County. Best stated that he felt dedication/payment-in-lieu using the Master Parks -and Recreation Plan is a good idea to provide for all the citizens of the County. Be noted that his only reservation is the fact that the land purchased is unprotected land. VOTE: Unanimous.
