Moved by Hermann, second by Long, approved 6-0

Development inquiry. Messrs. Lin came to ask about the potential requirements and restrictions for building a home on a parcel they are considering at 4608 Rt. 89. The building as described would be a multifamily dwelling, which is conditionally permitted on the part of the property in the Agriculture and Rural Residential District, but not permitted in the part of the property in the Lakeshore Residential district.  

Parella subdivision. The county planning board had no concerns, so the maps were signed. 

Household definitions and short-term rentals. Addressed density question for multi-household dwellings. Determined that we should add “a maximum of one household per 0.7 ac” to the conditional use for two-family dwellings and multifamily dwellings in each zone where they are currently permitted or conditional. (Amend Use Table, 310.3 and 310.4)
