Call to the Public Chairman Staley called for public comments. No comments were offered. C. Old Business The Commission did not have any old business to discuss. D. New Business D.1 Public Hearing – Review, Discussion and Consider Zoning Map Amendment from R1-4 to C-1 Light Commercial; APN(s) 311-47-013 Member Hastings moved to adjourn the regular meeting and move into the public hearing. Vice Chairman Smith seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Town Community Development Director Blake responded to questions by the Commissioners regarding the property. He said to leave the property partial C1 and residential would leave the lot non-conforming and would not be feasible. He responded the Kraxbergers are living in the old Munich House as their second residence. Town Community Development Director Blake stated nineteen letters were mailed out to the neighbors within 300 hundred feet of the property, and said he received three responses and all three had no objections to the rezoning of the property. Town Community Development Director Blake stated a rezone would not give the Kraxbergers an outright use to do whatever they want on the property, and said other than single family residence, the property would require site plan review from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mr. Krazberger stated he and his wife had been in the community for 20 years. He said their first business was a bed and breakfast, and said the property is ideal for a bed and breakfast. He said it is a possibility they might expand the restaurant into a bed and breakfast along with two to three small rental cottages. He explained they had bought another business in Town which is currently taking precedence over building the third cottage. He stated their biggest concern is part of the Munich House being zoned residential, and said he like to be in compliance and have the lot zoned commercial. Member Williams moved to close the public hearing. Member Hastings seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Vice Chairman Smith moved to recommend to the Town Council approving the request for a zone change from R1-4 to C-1 for APN 311-47-013 with the following condition that all future development on the parcel is subject to site plan review by the Minutes of Planning and Zoning Commission Public Hearing and Regular Meeting – February 9, 2017 Page 3 Planning and Zoning Commission.
