The first item is related to the responsibility of the DRB in terms of what all will be reviewed by the DRB. What staff is proposing and the Development Advisory Board approved at a meeting held Tuesday, October 11, 2016, was that only alterations and additions to the principal structure in the “T3” zoning district will be reviewed by the DRB. That will consist of things that pertain to residential improvements for example fences, sheds, things that don’t impact a house. Mr. Wright stated that as long as a fence meets all the requirements of the Code then they will be approved administratively. If the fence doesn’t meet the Code and a variance is required then the Board will hear that and make a recommendation. The Historic Preservation Commission will still have to hear anything that’s on the exterior of the building for those applicants in the Historic District. DRB Minutes – 10.11.2016 Page 2 of 3 kf  Temporary signage was removed as well and staff will review those. The second amendment was for the “T5” zoning district, there is no minimum lot size, but there is a frontage maximum of 60 feet in that they are restricted to that 60 foot requirement. Staff recommends removing this restriction, as it limits larger mixed-use and multi-family developments.
