Discuss an Application to Amend the Oak City Zoning Map to Change Property Located at Approximately 555 W 100 N from Ag-4 to RR-1 (1 acre)-Bonnie Nielson. Dylan passed out a copy of the Application for the Commission to go through. Bonnie stated that it would still be farming land now but according to their Trust, it stated that there will be 4 1-acre lots, for any of their children that might want to build on them or use them. She doesn't see that happening anytime soon if at all, however. The location of the property was quickly discussed with Camron giving the information. Dylan put up a map on the tv for all to look at together. Dylan asked if the zoning ordinance had been changed yet and the Mayor said the ordinance has been adopted but the zoning has not been changed on the online zoning map yet. Dylan felt like the Zone Amendment pretty much fits into the Town's plan. Mason wondered about the water situation. They don't plan to build right now but the adoption of the Application could allow 18 hook ups. Colin pointed out that there would not be enough space to build 18 homes. Shim stated that the Town has some water available. Kendall asked if it was true that when a subdivision is put in, they have to then apply for water? The Mayor thought there was a provision in the Town Code where a developer wanting to put in a large subdivision would need to supply the water but reported that the Town attorney said if there are lots in Town, you have to provide water. The Mayor stated that he is not sure how fast the Town is growing and adding water connections but probably more than 1% a year. The Mayor will look at the water report and try to see exactly where the Town is on growth and water connections. He pointed out that there are places that the Town can save on water usage such as the Cemetery and Park and that Cold Water Spring needs to be redeveloped which should help. He stated that the Town only turned on the Well for six hours the entire Summer this year. Jess stated that between 2010 to 2020 there were 87 people that moved into Oak City. Collin moved, seconded by Dylan, to approve the Application to rezone the property to 1 acre. Roll Call Vote: Dylan-Aye. Kendall-Aye. Colin-Aye. Peggy-Aye. Mason-Aye. Mason was wondering about what if he wanted to develop the 50 acres of property he owns within Town limits and then he sold it. Would he be able to force the Town to provide him the water? Not if he developed a subdivision, as the developer has to provide roads and water. Camron stated that the Planning and Zoning needs to look at the annexation rules to make sure they cover what needs to be covered in that Ordinance. E. Discuss the Draft of the Updated Annexation Policy for Oak City Town in Preparation for Adopting it in December-Jess Peterson, R6. Jess went through the Updated Annexation Policy with the Commission. He explained that it is pretty simple. Jess asked if there was any concern with the recommended annexation area? Everyone was ok with it. It is just a suggested annexation area. Jess stated that the Annexation Policy outlines the steps to do an annexation. The Planning and Zoning and the Town Council should both look at the Policy and become familiar with it. Collin felt the policy was good as recommended. Jess asked if the Commission was okay with the map. The Commission felt okay about the map. Can always change in a year or two if desired. Jess requested that if the Commission had any questions or wanted changes, after they review the Policy, let him know. Colin asked what the next step was. Review the policy and make sure the Commission is comfortable with it then start public meetings, postings, and noticing. Mason had an issue with the map that he brought up. On Anderson Lane, his concern was that the old creek runs through there and there are low spots that can flood. He would not suggest including this area in a recommended zoning area. The Commission agreed. The Mayor stated that the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) is looking at this right now, setting up flood zones and codes to build in higher areas. The Mayor pointed out that Dave Steele has put in a proposed request for annexation and this might cause Berry Anderson to look into it again now. Jess is going to look into rules on annexing someone that pretty much meets all the criteria, how to deny if desired and what can the Town do if someone wants to annex outside of the proposed area. F. Discuss the Draft of the Updated Oak City General Plan in Preparation for Adopting in December. Jess is going to send more information to the Planning and Zoning Commission on the General Plan and he wants them to look through the information and set up goals wanted in the Plan. He will make changes accordingly. He sent the Mayor a copy of the General Plan today. Need to make sure the annexation map is in place before the General Plan is done. Make sure to have good policies in place. Jess will check to see if need to hold off on the Dave Steele Proposed Annexation until after the Annexation Policy is in place or if it is okay to go ahead with it. G. Miscellaneous. There were no miscellaneous items. H. Adjournment. Dylan adjourned the meeting at 9:10 p.m. Submitted by: ____________________________ Approved By, ____________________________________ Karen K.
