ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED by Commissioner <br />Neuberger, the Board unanimously approved modifying the setback for <br />pool decks on Lot 3 Island Club Subdivision from 5' to 2', with the <br />condition that the Puchters provide a yard drain in the backyard to convey <br />runoff from the rear yard to the street, and that the Puchters post a cash <br />bond, as recommended by staff. <br />9.A.2. PUBLIC HEARING A PROPOSED ORDINANCE; AMENDING LAND <br />DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (LDRS) CHAPTER 901.03; DEFINITIONS OF <br />RETREATS AND CAMPS; SPECIFIC LAND USE CRITERIA FOR RETREATS AND <br />CAMPS, CHAPTER 971.40(11), AND PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF CONFLICTING <br />PROVISIONS, CODIFICATION, SEVERABILITYAND EFFECTIVE DATE <br />PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING <br />IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />Planning Director Stan Boling defined the current Land Development Regulations <br />(LDR) special uses for retreats and camps. After reviewing a recent request from Christian <br />Outreach for a retreat/camp project he discovered the need for defining "retreats and <br />camps" and to modify the retreat/camp criteria to ensure that such uses will be rural in <br />character and compatible with surrounding areas. With the recommendations from the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) and the Professional Services Advisory Committee <br />(PSAC), Director Boling presented two proposals for consideration: (1) to define retreats <br />and camps as rural and natural destination facilities for overnight stays and day programs, to <br />increase minimum acreage from 10 to 40 acres, to require 90% open space, to limit active <br />recreation area to 30% of the project's open space, limit building coverage to 3% of the <br />entire site area, and to reduce certain requirements for existing/approved smaller retreats. <br />Proposal (2) was the same as above except for the special open space or active recreation <br />area criteria, limiting the building coverage to 5% of the entire site area, eliminating any <br />minimum acreage requirement, and relying on increased setbacks and buffers alone to set the <br />parameters for site size and configuration for any given project design. Both proposals <br />include the grandfathering provisions for existing facilities. <br />JANUARY 14, 2003 7 <br />
