Project' Status Report
Fodroczi noted that the November 6, 1997, Technical Committee meeting was well attended and members
reviewed the general recommendations that the Steering Committee endorsed at the previous meeting on
Development Management Alternatives in Chapter Six of the plan. Staff solicited their recommendations
on detailed policies to implement the goals and objectives of the plan. There was also a productive follow-
up session with some of the agricultural agency staff to discuss farmland preservation issues.
Fodroczi added that staff has also been working with the Land Conservation Department to complete the
mapping of all individual farmland preservation agreements in the county. They have never been mapped
before, and we now have what we need to look at those areas in terms of soil information, areas subject
to exclusive agricultural zoning, and land under agreement under Chapter 91.
Fodroczi also announced that staff have registered for the National Audio Training Conference on Best
Development Practices, presented by the American Planning Association, featuring subjects presently
under discussion, such as cluster and open space design. Written announcements will be sent out with
a copy of agenda and presenters for anyone interested in attending the 90-minute presentation on
Wednesday, December 3, at 4:00 p.m.
Physical Features Analysis
Fodroczi noted that a final draft of Chapter Two, Physical Features Analysis, was previously distributed
to the Committee for review and discussion. He asked for the Committee's endorsement of this chapter
as prepared. Motion by King, seconded by Barrette to approve the draft of Chapter Two. Motion carried.
Development Management Policies
Fodroczi summarized the Committee's previous endorsement of a draft of Chapter Six, Development
Management Alternatives, with the condition of reconsideration of some map adjustments and minimum
lot size and proposed density bonus in the agricultural planning area. He added that the Committee's
requests have been reviewed by staff, and that staff have drafted a written summary of staff comments.
