AS TOWN LOTS 133, 134, 135, 136 AND 137 EAST, FROM
RS (RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY) TO RE (RESIDENTIAL
SINGLE FAMILY ESTATE) PROVIDING FOR THE APPROPRIATE
REVISION OF THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP; PROVIDING FOR
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The above ordinance was read by Mayor Betty Jean Stewart by title only.
Mayor Stewart asked if anyone had any con-n-ents.
Attorney Mark Reeves stated that his client, York Hanover, owns Lot 71W
and they object to the first ordinance regarding the height and setback
requirements. York Hanover has approvals fron- the Town for a density of
60 units and it is their position that they hayed vested rights that
have been confirn-ed by the Town to develop the 60 units, continued
Attorney Reeves.
Mr. Roy Schaeffer, representing Broadview Savings and Loan, noted they
are opposed to passage of the first ordinance as it takes away their
vested rights. It is their position that they have a valid unexpired
RPUD 2 on that property and any further changes would constitute a
. further taking of their vested rights, without just con-pensation.
It was noted that the 12 n-onth time-frame was debated at the Planning
Board Meetings and outside land planners were consulted regarding the
building heights.
Also noted was the fact that the RPUD had been deleted therefore it is
inappropriate to include any reference to an RPUD in the ordinances.
As there were no further comn-ents forthcon-ing from the public or the
Town Ciommission, MOTION was made by COMMISSIONER ROME/COMMISSIONER
ROBINSON to adjourn the Public Hearing.
Mayor Stewart adjourned the Public Hearing at 5:10 P.M.
APPROVED:
Betty Jean Stewart, Mayor
