Minutes of Oak City Town Planning and Zoning Meeting Held December 17, 2025 The meeting was held at the Oak City Town Hall located at 30 West Center beginning at 7:17 p.m., due to lack of a quorum until that time, in the Town Hall Conference Room.

Kendall-Aye. Colin-Absent. Peggy-Aye. Mason-Absent. D. Discuss Zoning Designation of a Possible Future Oak City Town Annexation Proposed by Dave and DeAnn Steele. Dave apologized for not getting a copy of his map to Dylan. He did have it on his computer however, and he went over the map with the Commission. He explained where the boundaries would be. It would total 14 acres. They are trying to hasten the process as they have a daughter who would like to build in the area soon. They were hoping to get the Planning and Zoning recommendation on this tonight so it could hopefully, go before the Town Council at tomorrow's meeting or at least by January's meeting. This will allow them to see how they would be able to move forward on the property. Kendell asked if Henerson's were aware of the Proposal as they have property included in the area. Dave said that Hendersons are not only aware of it but were okay with it. There are really no other property owners in the area. Dylan stated that there is not really an official Zoning Section in the Annexation Plan yet but the general consensus was that the Zone would be R 1 one-acre lots. Kirt was good with the one-acre lots. Kendell asked if they are looking at wanting to develop 13 lots. They said no that they would plan on maybe 5 lots for their children and maybe a couple more. Dylan moved, seconded by Peggy, to recommend that the Oak City Town Board approve a zoning designation of R 1 one-acre for the Proposed Steele Annexation. Roll Call Vote: Dylan-Aye. Peggy-Aye. Kendall-Aye. Mason-Absent. Colin-Absent. E. Discuss and Finalize Annexation Policy Draft. Jess stated that he made the changes, as requested, such as adding the county recorder and county attorney as those that need to sign off on an annexation. He went through other sections that he added about roads and water. The Mayor will be talking to the Town's attorney tomorrow about these issues and a couple of other issues. Jess mentioned that there are issues that would be grandfathered in, in other words, new requirements might not be able to go retroactive. The Mayor had Courtney Finlinson, Oak City Town Treasurer, figure out where the Town stands on how much water is left and she found that water rights for new connections would run out about 2045 at 1% growth with the current water supply. There is water available to purchase but it will not be cheap. Jess pointed out that all the changes that the Planning and Zoning had requested have been made. He asked if there were any more questions? There were no further questions at this time. Kendell moved, seconded by Dylan, to approve the Annexation Policy as presented by Jess, to go to a public hearing process upon the contingency that it is okayed by the Town Attorney. Roll Call Vote: Dylan-Aye. Peggy-Aye. Kendall-Aye. Mason-Absent. Colin-Absent. Dylan moved, seconded by Peggy, to start the Annexation Time Line as soon as the Town Attorney approves the Policy. Roll Call Vote: Dylan-Aye. Peggy-Aye. Kendall-Aye. Mason- Absent. Colin-Absent. F. Discuss and Finalize 2025 General Plan Draft. Jess explained that he came up with some of the information on the Plan from the Census. It might seem high but that is where he came up with the information. He quickly went over some of the information. One of the bigger issues was Town goals. This is where the Mayor had pointed out that the Town doesn't really want a lot of economic develop if any. Transportation, land use, and housing are the three things that have to be included. Jess went over some things that can be deleted or added. If the Town were to want some economic development, it would be good to have a strategic plan in place. Jess is going to make a few additions and deletions to the current Draft. There is a section in the current draft that suggested a group that would look at possible fairs and other activities. The Planning and Zoning Commission thought this could be removed as the Town could just set up a committee if they want to plan a fair, other activities or encourage small business. Jess wanted to know if the Planning and Zoning wanted to include the survey results. The Planning and Zoning and Kirt liked the idea of including some of it or reference an available web site. Jess stated that he had updated the zoning map and the annexation map. Dylan suggested adding a link that would go to the most current maps on the Town's website. There is a little blip, now included in the Plan, on the Museum. Jess explained that the Planning and Zoning just needs to make a recommendation to the Town Council on this. The Town Council takes over from there. He told the Commission that if they wanted any changes on the map, they should do that now as not much can be done after it is adopted. The Mayor stated that there was a good chance that the Zoning map was going to change the following night at the Town Council meeting and he would let Jess know ASAP. The General Plan should be looked at annually and the annexation map could be changed then if needed, but the actual Plan should be updated about every five years or less. Will have Jess add this that the Plan will be reviewed at least every five years but less if desired. Dylan moved, seconded by Peggy, that Jess add the annual review of the General Plan and the Update at least every five years to the Proposed General Plan. Roll Call Vote: Dylan-Aye. Peggy- Aye. Kendall-Aye. Mason-Absent. Colin-Absent. Dylan moved, seconded by Peggy, to adopt the 2025 General Plan, as updated and amended by Jess. Roll Call Vote: Dylan-Aye. Peggy-Aye. Kendall-Aye. Mason-Absent. Colin-Absent. Jess will send finalized copies of the Annexation Policy and the General Plan to the Mayor. G. Miscellaneous. There were no miscellaneous items. H. Adjournment. Dylan adjourned the meeting at 9:35 p.m. Submitted by: ____________________________ Approved By, ____________________________________ Karen K. Lovell, Secretary Dylan Finlinson, Interim Chairperson
