MINUTES

VILLAGE OF ST. HELENA

PLANNING BOARD MEETING OF July 8, 2013

The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. by Chairman Jimmy English. Present were Chairman Jimmy English, Teresa Coleman, Melvin James, Katrina Banks, Mack Smith, Attorney Bob Hugh Corbett, and Village Inspector Louis Hesse.

No meeting was held in June. The minutes from the May meeting were read and unanimously approved on motion by Melvin James and seconded by Mack Smith.

The Planning Board was informed that Mr. Charles White would like to rezone his property from Industrial to R20 and had inquired if the Planning Board could resubmit his original request without requiring another application. Mr. Corbett informed the Planning Board that the Planning Board does not have the authority to do so and Mr. White would have to reapply for a rezoning.

The Planning Board readdressed the typographical errors and changes listed in the Minutes from the May meeting to insure accuracy before submitting the changes to the Village Council. All the items listed were approved. A couple of other changes were also discussed. In Section 10-2 footnote 17 regarding Yard Sales, the first reference to Section 14-9 should be replaced with “this section.” The second reference to Section 14-9 should be deleted completely as Section 14-9 does not exist. Also in footnote 4 regarding Accessory Structure, the word “excess” should be replaced with “exceed.” In footnote 6 regarding Home Occupations, the word “residents” should be changed to “residence.”

It was also brought up that the number of accessory structures allowed was rather restrictive for our rural area and should be reviewed. No action was taken at this time and the discussion was tabled.

The meeting was adjourned.
