Commissioner Brown expressed concern over the one unit per two acre density requirement. He feels that if there is soil less than two acres that can support a home, then it should be used for that purpose. Also, having a home on more than one acre might be a hardship on senior citizens because the state statutes giving seniors tax exemptions only apply to a home and one acre. Planning Director Dave Cunningham explained that the soil situation was considered in making the density requirement. The residents never objected to this. He also stated that the Plan has a clustering technique which allows for a small individual lot as long as the overall density is maintained. Ed Richey, Chairman of the Citizens Planning Committee, stated that he thought the senior citizens were the ones who wanted to have the density requirement. Chairman Mercer inquired if there is a mechanism to change the plan in case the density requirement changes. Cunningham replied that there is a provision to review the Plan every four or five years. Mrs. Dagne, resident of Marrowstone Island, reported that when she and her husband answered the questionnaire they did it with their grandchildren in mind. Commissioner Brown stated that he has no problem with the plan if it's what the residents want. Planner Dave Goldsmith checked on the responses to the questionnaire by senior citizens regarding the density. He reported that out of 173 respondents 56 years of age or older, the average response for individual septic tank and well is 1.85 acres; and with a community water system and septic tank the average response is 1.45 acres. Motion by Commissioner Brown, second by Commissioner O'Meara to adopt the Plan as presented. Unanimous. The Board signed Resolution No. 23-78 approving the Plan.
