Chair recommends Boat Club be grandfathered under current ownership
Summary
Chairman Allen Endicott proposed that the Town Council include a letter allowing the existing Boat Club to continue under current ownership while requiring new ownership or new functions to comply with updated RC zone code. The commission asked staff to reflect the approach in the clean draft.
During the packet review the Planning Commission discussed treatment of existing private recreational uses and the Boat Club was a focal example. Chairman Allen Endicott suggested the Town Council include a letter stating that "the Boat Club under current ownership would be allowed to function as they have been," while making clear that any new functions or a change of ownership would need to comply with the updated code.
Commission discussion indicated support for a limited grandfathering approach that preserves existing operational status for the current owner but requires code compliance for new owners or uses. Commissioners directed staff to reflect that approach in the revised ordinance text to avoid unintended disruption for existing operations while protecting neighbors and future regulatory clarity.
