PUBLIC COMMENT Public Comment was opened at 7:04 pm. With no public comments, public comment was closed at 7:04 pm. NEW BUSINESS Tart presented the staff report regarding a UDC amendment for permitted encroachments into the setbacks for mechanical equipment. The amendment would allow mechanical equipment, such as condenser units or solar inverters, to encroach into the side setback. If encroaching within 3’ of a setback, an access/maintenance agreement would need to be signed by the adjacent property owner and recorded, allowing access onto the adjacent property for maintenance of the equipment. The location of mechanical equipment within 5’ of the property line would also need approval from the Chaffee County Building Department. Commissioner Bennetts motioned for the recommendation that the Board of Trustees approve the UDC amendment pending confirmation from the Town attorney that there would be no additional liability carried by the Town. Commissioner Tom Brown seconded. Motion #3 unanimously approved. Teipel presented the adoption of the 2022 3-mile plan. No changes have been made since the Commission last met and provided input for the updates to the plan. Under state statute, the Town needs to adopt a new plan each year. The 2004 Transportation Master Plan included in the 2022 3-mile plan packet will be updated in the next couple of years. The Comprehensive Plan will be also receiving an update, which along with the 3-mile plan, will help guide the update to the Transportation Master Plan. Town is planning to hire a transportation planning consultant to assist with the update. Commissioner Tom Brown recommended that the Board of Trustees adopt the 2022 3-Mile Plan. Commissioner LaGreca seconded. Motion #4 unanimously approved.
