ProposedRezoning proposal was considered.Aug 5 · Planning BoardBayview Village Subdivision Planned Development Project
ApprovedThe Planning and Development Review Board considered a proposed residential planned development on 27.75 acres with 96 lots, a 4,000 square foot two-story family-sit-down restaurant with lake-front porch and wrap-around parking at 1 space per 100 SF, children's park, dog park, dock on man-made lake, and associated infrastructure. The developer requested variances: reduced setbacks (front 20 ft, side 5 ft, rear 15 ft for RV and R-1 zoning), and increased impervious surface ratio to 70% maximum to enable home clustering away from wetlands and environmentally sensitive areas. Staff noted the proposed density of 3.5 units per acre is below the R-1 allowable maximum of 4 units per acre. Public comment raised concerns regarding traffic, stormwater management, flooding, noise and lighting, building height, property values, endangered species, and whether the restaurant would serve only development residents. Engineer Knauer addressed these concerns and clarified that a Development Order will be required for technical review, stormwater permitting, and wetlands permitting. The board voted unanimously to recommend approval with no conditions.May 6 · Planning Board31 Azalea Drive Re-Zoning Request
