“Well, right now, the design guidelines are only written for single-family homes. So I think we need to... I mean, multifamily also comes to us. So that's not the right... The second section B, we shall review each application for single family, multifamily, commercial. Maybe we just to say include municipal there for conformity with the town's code and adopted design guidelines. But that wouldn't reach a speed hump. Sorry? That wouldn't reach a speed hump. i know so that's why i'm separating the issues i'm trying to say first of all let's clarify that the towns any any development or major…”

“This wasn't that bad. We have to change the code to get that to come before us. That's what we're trying to do right now.”

“So what I would recommend just hearing everybody is yes, I agree we need to figure out a way to make sure that municipal structures, new or additions to are included in the regular process. They have to go through P&Z. I will leave it to our staff to figure out how to amend this code to say that. And then I agree, I would be in favor of removing the word significant and adding a couple more examples in the parenthetical. And instead of saying including, I would say, for example, so they don't think it's an inclusive list, I would say, for example, signage, street furniture, lighting pergolas…”

“Yeah. I've noted it. We'll talk about it in a minute. But I think for purposes of moving this forward, with those changes, I think we could recommend for approval to the town commission. Do you agree, colleagues? Moses?”

“Yes, thank you. And if the attorney or you, Scarlett, or our manager think there's any other way to make it clear that the municipal construction and design needs to go through the process, please make those changes as well. That was just the first thing that came to mind, but I'd really love a more comprehensive look to see to make sure that municipal buildings would come through PNC. So with those changes, I'll entertain a motion for approval.”

“Okay. For future discussion items, there were a few that came up tonight, so I would like to review that tracker. So I think one thing is the... We mentioned a site, 9156 Emerson, that came before us tonight that had been demolished a while ago and has been sitting vacant. Does our code allow that anymore? At one point, there was legislation where we were saying you can't demolish it and just let it sit forever.”

“Because that's a loophole for people who want to just take every tree off the site and then come back.”

“Maybe you could just share with us what the code says right now when somebody applies for a demo permit. How are trees protected? And do you think there's anything that we could do better to make sure we're protecting, especially large specimen heritage trees. I'm not talking about every tree. So that's one issue. Another thing is, I think, an audit of the design guidelines to see if anything should become code. For example, pools at ground level, or otherwise it should count towards FAR. And then third is this concept that the manager brought up, which is town design guidelines or town brand…”

“So we're not going to figure that out today? No, no, we're not, but just asking her. one example, I think, of something that may be strong enough in the guidelines to be considered a code change. But I think writ large, we should be auditing. It would be great if the planning staff could do a first pass and say, here's five things we saw for discussion. And then awnings in the retail district.”

“So that's linking signage and awnings, but I think there's also just in general what's allowed for awnings. Okay. But, yeah, does that get – we can see what's allowed?”

“So I think, you know, looking at what's allowed for awnings, again, revisiting that. Okay. Okay. Anything else that I missed, guys, for discussion?”

“We need to change that because- And it needs to be included in the FAR, and it needs to be included, you know, it has to meet the setbacks. That's the quid pro quo. If you want to pull it in and have it be part of your house, I guess.”
