Planned Growth overlay proposed with three infrastructure-based classes; commissioners flag residency concerns
Summary
Planner Martha Harrison presented a Planned Growth overlay with Class 1 (public water & sewer), Class 2 (public sewer/private well), and Class 3 (public water/private septic) and differing square-footage standards; Commissioner Terry Carter questioned whether Classes 2 and 3 would allow for full-time residency.
Martha Harrison described three overlay classes for Planned Growth: Class 1 (public water and sewer), Class 2 (public sewer, private well) and Class 3 (public water, private septic). Each class would carry different square‑footage and density standards that would influence housing types and sizes in overlay areas.
Terry Carter expressed concern that smaller square‑footage allowances for Classes 2 and 3 could discourage or preclude full‑time residents in some areas. Martha Harrison said, "this is something the board needs to review," and the commission displayed a map of the proposed overlay classes but took no formal action at the meeting.
