Subcommittee Report
Vice Chair Monette provided updates regarding ongoing ordinance review and discussed
revisions.
Discussion included the current sixty-six (66) foot easement requirement for private roads.
Members expressed interest in evaluating whether the 66-foot easement width should remain
mandatory in all circumstances or whether additional flexibility, such as variances, may be
appropriate. Concerns were raised regarding the impact of the 66-foot requirement on “skinny”
five-acre parcels and whether the standard may unintentionally restrict land use options.
Vice Chair Monette suggests consideration of adding a required frontage standard to
accompany easement requirements in order to create clearer development parameters.
The subcommittee will continue working on draft revisions and will bring a more finalized version
to the Planning Commission for review at next meeting.

Event Ordinance Discussion
The Commission discussed the current Outdoor Special Events Ordinance and its application.
Members addressed whether a Special Use Permit is appropriate only for a single event
occurrence, or whether multiple recurring events on a property would constitute an ongoing
commercial use requiring zoning approval.

It was discussed that if a property hosts more than one event, this may establish a commercial
business use, thereby making Special Use approval appropriate under the zoning ordinance
rather than repeated event permits.
The concept of a “Mass Gathering Ordinance” was mentioned as a possible framework to clarify
distinctions between one-time events and recurring commercial activity.
Discussion also included whether special uses should be added to the Agricultural (AG) zoning
district to provide clearer regulatory structure for certain types of event-based uses.
It was noted that prior Special Use Permit applications have been denied in the Agricultural
district, and members discussed concerns about setting precedent.
Commission members agreed that additional review and clarification of the ordinance language
is needed. The matter will be revisited at a future meeting after further research and drafting.

ADU / Tiny Home Ordinance Discussion
Secretary Coon raises the topic of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), including tiny homes, and
the potential benefits of exploring funding opportunities through the County for housing-related
initiatives.

General discussion included solutions for camper housing and how future business or land use
proposals may intersect with current zoning standards.
Additional Training offered through March.

01-20–03 Motion by Board Member Halbower to adjourn meeting. Support by Chair
Williams. CARRIED.
