God indivisible with liberty and justice for all roofman Evans here committee me Montgomery committee man Dicks here deputy Mayor Cordy here mayor Gilmore here okay we need the approval of the
regular committee minutes of January 28th 2025 so moved second missy yes mr dick yes miss Evans yes mayor Johan
yes so we have some reports um I do not see the um state police here however we do have an additional uh report from the engineer that I found to be uh very
useful so we need a motion and a second to accept motion second and I'm I'm very happy to see it from Remington Vernick great job miss Evans yes mr ty yes mr dick yes mayor
Dor yes we have a um discussion presentation uh with regards to the joint land use board 2024 annual report do we need to I didn't know if did did any did you want to do the
report since you are the class one and three members of the board would you like me to just just just a quick review on what the Okay sure so this is a annual report that's required of the land use board secretary to put together it actually also includes the 2023
uh report which is uh all of the applications that were heard by the board in the prior year and it gives the committee and the land use board and the professionals an opportunity to review the variances that have been granted uh bulk variances use variance see if
there's any kind of trends and that would trigger the need or the possibility to explore making some adjustments to the land use code um this way it curtails the those types of applications we see a trend so maybe you need to you know and it might provide
relief to the residents from having to come in for you know certain types of variances generally it looks like mostly it's fences and pools and things like that because the setbacks aren't met um so that is the 2024 year-end report
as well as the 2023 report can I ask a question sure what is the SRZ zone SRC zone around Royal Avenue appears to be outdated and should be re reviewed mean which where is that at oh so that is the the community
uh main avenue um Palowski Moside Mside and Yeah I know where it is but what is the SRC special restriction commercial or special specially restricted commercial okay is that because that's where we've got the
warehouse it's not where the warehouse is it's not where the warehouse is it's not in that zone it's the the area to the to the west of that right um but there are like a couple garages within that community smaller types of businesses homes um but
right we just had an application for Mosai for to to build a home in there when there are home it's a residential area so that is an area that perhaps should be reviewed and actually the land use chair mentioned that at the at the board meeting last week yes yes and
whose responsibility would that be or would it be the board right well or would it be the committee you know in the context of the last sentence about affordable housing it may be something that we want to talk to Leah about look at and see if that makes any sense to to
designated sort of AH2 or AH3 or something like that we'll take a look at it okay okay so we need to accept this and file that's all accept and file yep so I need a motion in a second i'll make the
