Public input/general comments Andy Anderson gave a brief discussion on his version of a density study based on the Glen Frame farm. David Stanfield issued a pet peeve that they no longer produce tax rolls online. Discussion and possible recommendation to the Board for a zoning change application – 3445 Kelliher Road – Marc Brody • Marc is proceeding with work to partially abandon a portion of Kelliher Road and do a dedication of a town road with a turnaround. • There is an existing CSM which needs to be changed so he has 66’ of roadside access. • At a November site visit, the turnaround location was picked, but it was later moved 40’ to the east. • There is much less site preparation if the turnaround is moved 40’ east. • There is an existing CSM which needs to be changed so he has 66’ of roadside access. • Marc wants to rezone .25 acres from FP35 to RR4, adding it to an adjacent parcel to provide roadside access. Jim moved and Dean seconded a motion to approve the rezone of approximately .25 acres as shown on the map from FP35 to RR4. Motion carried 6-0.  Discussion on Potential Development Rights for Donna Greenwood property in Section 31 • The family would like to sell the property and needs to determine the number of development rights associated with the 81.3-acre parcel. • The County feels that there are 2 PDRs available. • To confirm the number of PDRs, a study must start with the Glen Frame, Fern Frame, and Frame's Wild 60 LLC land as of January 1, 1985. • The PC recommends that the County do a density study for the 81.3-acre lot. • Quit claim deeds refer to Exhibit A which we have not seen. • Access to the property is challenging and uncertain. Discussion and recommendation on the County proposed blanket rezone to correct zoning map discrepancies • David Perkins came to discuss the proposed zoning change to his property. • Recent communication from the County suggests that there is a deed restriction on the property. • In the past, the property was rezoned to RM-16 which removed the restriction. • David would like to clarify that the deed restriction is terminated, and if so, he would let them go ahead to a FP1 rezone. • The PC will only approve the Perkins zoning change since the other property owners scheduled for a rezone have not contacted us. Jim moved and Max seconded a motion to recommend approval of the rezone on the Perkins property from RM16 to FP1 noting that this rezoning acknowledges that the deed restriction and document stating there is a deed restriction are terminated because of this rezone. Motion carried 6-0. Comprehensive Plan Review – working topic. • The PC last looked at this on April 14, 2025. • The PC went through the County’s recommendations and either accepted or declined them. • Each member of the PC should read the entire document for our next meeting! • We will keep our density policy verbatim.
