This is the agenda for the Queenstown Planning Commission regular meeting on November 6, 2019, listing public hearings, updates, and action items. Public hearings are scheduled on four proposed ordinances: Ordinance 19-06 to permit accessory structures up to 26 feet in the R-1 and R-2 zoning districts provided the accessory structure does not exceed the height of the principal structure; Ordinance 19-07 to eliminate the newspaper-advertising requirement for Planning Commission public hearings on zoning ordinance amendments; Ordinance 19-08 to clarify time periods for building permit expiration and to establish circumstances for permit renewal; and Ordinance 19-09 to require permits for placement of facilities or utilities on sidewalks and the town right-of-way and to adopt rules for above-ground communications, small cell, and wireless support structures. The agenda also lists a guest presentation by Nancy Scozzari (QAC Planning) on the county’s vision for trails and municipal connectivity, Town Manager updates, old business (including the Trails Master Plan and the four ordinances eligible for vote), and new business items: October 2 minutes, an LED sign request from Queenstown Bank of Maryland, and a draft Critical Area regulatory proposal for siting large solar projects. The meeting provides time for public comment before adjournment.
