Mr. Michael Koles stated that he observed his name on the Minutes from the May 16th ISC meeting and inquired what was discussed regarding the density provision of the draft Zoning Ordinance.
Ms. Jean Gliniecki replied that a staff meeting had been scheduled and this issue would be addressed there.

Ms. Melinda Osterberg stated that there were numerous formatting errors within the table included on page 15 of the amended Subdivision Ordinance. Ms. Osterberg inquired if, with formatting corrections, the figure should be retained in the final version of the Ordinance.
The Committee agreed that the figure was helpful and the corrected figure should remain in the Ordinance.
The Committee pointed out that the Planning and Zoning Administrators are the administrators of the Ordinance should be referred to as such throughout the document, there were some inconsistencies (County Planner, Planning and Zoning Office Staff, Planning Administrator, etc.) that should be corrected throughout the Ordinance.
The Committee replaced title with Ordinance on the top of page 26.
Ms. Osterberg stated that she had not heard by from the Highway Department regarding Section 8.03 and would modify the Section with their recommendations.
Mr. Stefan Shoup indicated that Section 8.07(c)(3) should be rewritten to read, “The lot width to depth ration shall be 1:3 (0.33), in other words no lot depth shall be greater than three times the long width.”
The Committee agreed with Mr. Shoup’s alteration.
