Keedysville Planning and Zoning

February 11, 2008 7:00 P.M.

Attending members: Tim Robertson, Randy Burns, Don Weigel, Tony Crist

Also attending: Mary Robertson

Minutes from January's meeting were read and approved.

Old Business: Kettler Brothers has sent a letter stating that they want to reduce the paved area of their roads to two 12 foot lanes, with two 10 foot lanes in the cul de sacs, with sidewalks on one side that have a 4 foot grass buffer strip. Committee wants 12 foot lane minimums, sidewalks ADA compliant with curbs, contingent upon seeing a plat (last seen in 2004). Also, Coffman Farms Road problems still need to be addressed, but we have not heard from Kettler about this.

This committee needs to appoint a new chairman for the yearly term. Motion was made by Randy to appoint Tim chairman for another year. Tony seconded, all agreed.

New Business: Dr. Guedenet sent a letter requesting rezoning for his property at 21 Wyand Drive from suburban residential to neighborhood commercial. He has 4 acres. He will need a public hearing. Tim will let Amy know to start this process.

House Bill 1141 contains two parts that must be written into our Comprehensive Plan; Growth Element and Water Resources Element. This process is too complicated for the committee to handle alone. Greg Murray is the county administrator available to help small towns in this process. Tim will ask the Town to send this out for bid.

Meeting adjourned at 7:33 PM.
