MOTION: To Approve Order 24 034 as submitted with Planning Board recommendations Motion: by Councilor Ringius
From the minutes
“MOTION: To Approve Order 24 034 as submitted with Planning Board recommendations Motion: by Councilor Ringius Second: by Councilor Boericke Amendment to the main Motion read by Councilor Ringius: AMENDMENT: To amend proposed zoning ordinance 135-617 by amending Section D, Table 1, Use -Hotel or Motel, by deleting the word yes in the by right column and replacing it with the word no and by further deleting the word no in the Special Permit column and replacing it with the word yes. Motion: by Councilor Ringius Second: by Councilor Boericke President Ryan asked Councilor Morin to explain the reason for the amendment. Councilor Morin explained the intent of this project I believe is the create housing that complements existing commercial property. I believe that having a hotel in addition to a residential use as a right of use would be overly burdensome on the property. I've spoken to Attorney Marinelli and there is no objection from him as to this amendment. I think it enhances the protections of the ordinance. Councilor Ringius stated there will be two votes now. The first vote will be to vote on the amendment. We will then have a vote on the main motion with the amendment if that passes. President Ryan asked if there was any further discussion on the amendment? Hearing none. Amendment to the main Motion read by Councilor Ringius: AMENDMENT: To amend proposed zoning ordinance 135-617 by amending Section D, Table 1, Use -Hotel or Motel, by deleting the word yes in the by right column and replacing it with the word no and by further deleting the word no in the Special Permit column and replacing it with the word yes.
