In a recent government meeting, the board addressed two significant items concerning impact fee waivers and a site plan application. The first item involved a motion to deny a request for a waiver of school and fire impact fees, identified as item number IMP2024-2. Board member Aaron George Kelly cited that the request did not meet the necessary criteria outlined in Article 13.09b. The motion received unanimous support, with one member, Andy Boyle, recusing himself from the vote. The board noted that the applicant could submit a follow-up application if desired.
Following the denial of the impact fee waiver, the board proceeded to discuss a site plan application related to the same property. The staff recommendations from the previous discussion remained relevant, and the board reviewed various waiver requests concerning landscaping, outdoor lighting, wetland delineation, and screening of transformers. Chris Wellington made a motion to approve the waivers, which was seconded by Brian Beaupre. The motion passed with the same voting dynamics as before, with Boyle again recusing himself.
The meeting concluded with the board ready to consider the site plan application as a whole, indicating a continued focus on the development project despite the earlier denial of the impact fee waiver.
