Review Town Code Title 10 Zoning Regulations Chapter 6 and 7 under Permitted Use – Chairman G. Godfrey discussed with the Commission whether or not there needed to be any changes made in Chapter 6 and 7 under permitted use. The LUDMA Commission looked over Clarkston Town Code Title 10 Zoning Regulations Chapter 6 and 7, Permitted Use. Commissioner B. Goodey indicated that after reviewing what was already under permitted use in those chapters, he saw no need make any changes to those chapters. All LUDMA Commissioners present agreed.

Review Town Code 10-6-6 under Modifying Regulation and Town Code 10-7A-6 under Modifying Regulations. Chairman G. Godfrey discussed with the Commission about Section D. under Modifying Regulations. Chairman G. Godfrey asked the Commission if that section needed to be updated. Commisioner B. Goodey stated that it would be in the town’s best interest to keep the distance between livestock enclosures and the neighbor’s dwelling at 30’ but sees no harm in shorting the distance between a livestock enclosure and the property owner’s dwelling to 15’. All LUDMA Commissioners present agreed. Chairman G. Godfrey asked Councilmember S. Palmer to present the LUMDA’s proposal to the Town Council.
