Minutes of Meeting of Town Commission
RECESSED WORKSHOP TO REVIEW
PROPOSED ZONING REVISIONS
Tuesday, February 28, 1984 3:30 P.M.
A Recessed Workshop Meeting to review the proposed zoning revisions
was called to order by Vice Mayor Mary Louise G. Blosser at 3:30
p.m, in the Town Commission Chambers. Also present were Comm-
issioners William E. Paul, Betty Jean Stewart and Harry Walker.
Mayor Louis Y. Horton was absent.
Also present were Town Attorney Thomas E. Sliney; Ron Hoggard of
Gee and Jenson; Town Manager Elaine W. Roberts; Town Clerk Mary
Ann V~7haley; citizens and the general public.
The Town Commission continued its review of the proposed zoning
revisions as recommended by the Planning Commission in its
tentative report.
The Town Commission requested Ron Hoggard to draft a proposed
amendment clarifying the duties and powers of the Community
Appearance Board and Planning Commission with relation to the
zoning ordinance. Although the establishment and powers are
now outlined in the "Administration" portion of the Code, it
was Ron Hoggard's recommendation and the general consensus
of the Town Commission, that these powers be delineated in the
zoning code. It was further the consensus of the Town Commission
that the Planning Commission be changed to the Planning and
Zoning Board, which still would act as the Town's Local Planning
Agency as required by state statute.
Mr. Hoggard will also draft a proposed review process to be
inserted in the zoning code.
The difference between "variance" and "special exception" was
discussed. Mr. Hoggard will photocopy a recommended definition
for the Town's use.
Although, at a prior workshop meeting, special exceptions were to
b e placed within the purvue of the Board of Adjustment, it was
the general consensus that due to these matters being quasi-
legislative in nature, special exceptions should be kept within
. the responsibility of the legislative body, being the Town Commission,
