Discuss and Consider Amendment

Changes to the subdivision ordinance do not require a public hearing as per mayor. The planning and zoning committee only needs to make a recommendation to the council. The Mayor and City Council would like something in writing regarding changes in reference to new subdivisions and having to do with water detention. Elliot Townsend has agreed to write up a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Committee to the City Council.

The Planning and Zoning Committee is also going to start making considerations for recommendations regarding landscaping and green spaces where future development is expected.

Each member of the committee was encouraged to look for developments they like the look of and consider what might need to be included in a revised ordinance. This discussion was tabled for further discussion at the January meeting.

Thoroughfare Plan was mentioned and was noted that the City Council voted to adopt the county thoroughfare plan.

Discuss and Consider Amendment

Committee discussed an amendment to the zoning ordinance to add detention requirements. We compared our current requirements to those of surrounding areas, with a concentration on the Prosper ordinance because of wording and adaptability.

A motion was made by Elliot Townsend to adopt the town of Prosper’s drainage system requirements, having it replace our current Subdivision Ordinance 6.03, with the following changes: Any Prosper specific or county specific wording or phrasing would be amended to fit Tioga’s needs and usage and charts and tables that are specific to Prosper would be replaced with charts and tables specific to Tioga. All and any of this with the recommendation that the city engineer and city attorney review and approve.

Kim seconded, all ayes, motion carries.

It was discussed and agreed that we would plan and look for solutions that do not discourage builders and also keep the cost low for all parties involved, including good stewardship of the city’s resources.
