Approved 8.7.24 <br /> <br /> 1452 <br />Chris Johnston: And I apologize, could you, just for my own personal clarification, break it out a little bit 1453 <br />more so that star specifically means that we need to… 1454 <br /> 1455 <br />Perdita Holtz: The star in the table of permitted uses means that it's a permitted use. When you get to 1456 <br />the conditional districts, what it means is that it's a use that can be applied for as part of a 1457 <br />conditional district. So, it would just mean that somebody can apply for that to get 1458 <br />approved as part of their conditional district application. 1459 <br /> 1460 <br />Charity Kirk: Can we approve just that Amendment 1 in Item 8, right now? 1461 <br /> 1462 <br />Perdita Holtz: You could recommend that that go forward if you didn't want to approve the other parts. 1463 <br /> 1464 <br />Charity Kirk: Do we have to do them together or can we just get that done with right now? 1465 <br /> 1466 <br />Perdita Holtz: It would probably be unlikely since this is a bundled application that staff is going to just 1467 <br />take forward one thing that's not part of this whole bundle of applications. We'll come 1468 <br />back in the fall with this one amendment if things did not go forward at this point. 1469 <br /> 1470 <br />Chris Johnston: I apologize, I just hate arguing about things that we don't have any control over, that's 1471 <br />what I want to make sure that we're not doing necessarily, like if this is something that is a 1472 <br />state regulation. 1473 <br /> 1474 <br />Perdita Holtz: I would recommend that you not take out just that one part. We'll come back with a text 1475 <br />amendment, if necessary, in the future. 1476 <br /> 1477 <br />Adam Beeman: Any other questions or concerns? 1478 <br /> 1479 <br />Chris Johnston: I have general thoughts and comments and that sort of thing, but are we at the point 1480 <br />where we're summarizing our thoughts or are we still asking questions of the public? 1481 <br /> 1482 <br />Adam Beeman: I mean, we're looking for a motion so if you're ready for a motion or someone wants to 1483 <br />discuss things, let’s have it. 1484 <br /> 1485 <br />Chris Johnston: I'm still putting together Agenda Item 8 and I apologize, I thought that that was a little bit 1486 <br />more bundled than it turned out it was, so I need to do a little bit of additional digging 1487 <br />there. In regards to Agenda Item 7, which is essentially growing the pink dot, right? 1488 <br />We're talking about expanding the rural neighborhood activity node. That makes sense 1489 <br />based on the comments that were brought before by the previous planning board, why 1490 <br />they didn't do it by parcels, that makes complete sense now. They didn't do it by parcels 1491 <br />because, and if I misunderstand, I apologize, but they didn't do it by parcels because if 1492 <br />they did then there would be no growth, it would just be whoever is there is there, so this 1493 <br />makes sense in that regard insomuch as if someone comes in, they may be outside that 1494 <br />dot, extending it makes sense to make it in compliance or whatever the case may be. If 1495 <br />I'm misunderstanding that also, please correct me. But the key question here on is 1496 <br />Agenda Item 9, right? Agenda Item 9 is the proposal by the applicant, and I think that 1497 <br />everyone agrees with what Fiddlehead is trying to do there, they are trying to age in place, 1498 <br />they want a community of like-minded individuals who have kind of fun with their 1499 <br />neighbors, they can grow together and have that community, and I think that community 1500 <br />actually in some ways already exists at Morrow Mill, right. There are people there who 1501
