12 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 100 Cy Stober: Yeah, we're not permitted to begin calculating impervious cover thresholds for anything <br /> 101 but the net new development. So, for example, if you're in the Upper Eno and you have a 6 percent or 12 <br /> 102 percent impervious threshold and you already have an acre of development, we have to allow that acre of <br /> 103 development and then begin counting the number of square feet of impervious. <br /> 104 <br /> 105 Lamar Proctor: That's just exempted? <br /> 106 <br /> 107 Cy Stober: Yes. <br /> 108 <br /> 109 Adam Beeman: When you say that the DOT roads don't require to have the maintenance, what happens <br /> 110 to subdivisions that have private roads? They have to meet the stormwater requirements though? <br /> 111 <br /> 112 Cy Stober: They do. So, municipal roads and DOT roads are included, but privately owned and <br /> 113 maintained roads are not addressed in the legislation. <br /> 114 <br /> 115 Statler Gilfillen: When, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, local jurisdictions have the right to <br /> 116 exceed the state standards. <br /> 117 <br /> 118 Adam Beeman: We don't. <br /> 119 <br /> 120 Statler Gilfillen: We don't here, do we? <br /> 121 <br /> 122 Cy Stober: That's correct. <br /> 123 <br /> 124 Mr. Stober continued to overview the Regulatory Reform text amendments regarding density thresholds. <br /> 125 <br /> 126 Delores Bailey: So, let's just say that Efland Ruritan Club that was here before.... And with all that land <br /> 127 they've got... so would they meet these five, right now, I'm just trying to visualize this. <br /> 128 <br /> 129 Cy Stober: We could not apply the water supply watershed density rule. Yes, so if they came in, if <br /> 130 their GC4 is approved,well, even if it's not, because they actually have a non-residential use of the property, <br /> 131 so this is the exception to the rule, so if they came in and they said, "we want to do a Residential Conditional <br /> 132 Zoning Application, and we want to put 50 units on this land,we could not say, "the water supply water shed <br /> 133 rules won't let you."We'd probably figure out another way to regulate that, but we can't use the water supply <br /> 134 watershed rules to regulate density. There's other tools in the box though, especially the Conditional Zoning <br /> 135 approach, where you have a legislative negotiation between the County and the applicant about what's <br /> 136 appropriate. <br /> 137 <br /> 138 Cy Stober: So yeah, I just wanted to draw your attention to these highlights and then this is an <br /> 139 additional amendment that's here just for your information, is that you can modify the impervious surface ratio <br /> 140 using that 5-part test. So those are all the amendments before you. With the exception of reassigning UDO <br /> 141 conformance when issuing a Certificate of Occupancy, they all align with statute, and they're presented tonight <br /> 142 for your consideration and a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. <br /> 143 <br /> 144 Chris Johnston: So just to confirm though, all the changes that were just presented were based on state <br /> 145 changes and there's nothing that was put in there, as I understand, nothing that was put in there based on <br /> 146 County requirements or anything along those lines. This is all from on high and we're just updating. <br /> 147 <br /> 148 Cy Stober: One exception to that was the— <br /> 149 <br />
