OTHER
Chair Hart mentioned that the City Manager, Jeff Kobrock, informed her that the City Council would like to revisit the Professional/Residential Zoning District for Brunswick Avenue. They would plan to come before the Board for a workshop. If anyone has any questions, you should contact Jason Simcock.
Phil Barter mentioned that in the original Comprehensive Plan, it called for a Commercial Overlay District. It was too broad. The Comp Plan Implementation Committee recommended the Professional/Residential District with standards that were strict enough so that the character of the neighborhood wouldn’t change. The City Council didn’t approve it, but now have come around on it. He believes if they change the zone, the properties will be more valuable and the people will find professional offices to be better neighbors than what, in some cases, they have now. If it becomes doctors’ offices, etc, the tax value will go up and the buildings will probably be better maintained.
Chair Hart mentioned that the Usdan Property project has been tabled by the City. The City will be looking into all options for the lot. She suggested that since the Application is still open, Board members shouldn’t go to the hearings.
Chair Hart reminded the Board that Thursday, May 11, 2006 will be a workshop about the process to go through for a site plan review for the Boys and Girls Club.
