The Queenstown Planning Commission met November 4, 2020. Barry Waterman said his planned development will be reduced from 202 to 198 units and that design guidelines are being prepared; the Commission agreed not to schedule a public hearing until those guidelines are submitted so the public will have full information. Town Manager Amy Moore reported the uncontested election (Al Hardee re-elected and to be sworn in at the next Commissioners meeting) and that Commissioners will meet with Waterman about a water tower and infrastructure funding. Old business updates included the Trails Master Plan being sent to the new County Planning Director, a Community Parks grant application with no response yet, Wheatland’s Master Development Plan awaiting design guidelines, and detailed progress on the Sorenson site and water quality work at 112 Charity Lane (oversized French drain installed, rain garden staged, some downspout and paver work delayed by COVID; Commission approved an amended plan including extending a protective fence). Boat landing and parking improvements: parking stops installed, regulatory signs to be posted, ramp improvements planned for the next budget cycle, permit fees to be set, and parking/trailer signage to be ordered. The Commission approved the September 2 and October 7, 2020 minutes and adjourned at 8:15 p.m.

QUEENSTOWN PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES
November 4.2020
Members present, or participating via Zoom, were Phil Snyder, Mike Bowell, Matt Reno, and
Paul Cain. Also present/participating was Barry Waterman and Town Planner Peter Johnston.
Phil Snyder, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
Barry Waterman discussed the look of "small town" for his planned development. He discussed
that there will be less units in the plan than originally; 202 downto 198. His consultant is
working on design guidelines for the project. There would be an HOA for property maintenance
if
but would be a town decision to have open space, parks, trails, etc. included into HOA or
Town would manage. He advised that Critical Area approval for the trails would be much
smoother if town owned and was responsible for them. Mr. Waterman requested the Planning
Commission schedule a public hearing to keep things moving. Peter Johnston advised against
scheduling a hearing until such time the design guidelines are submitted. The public should have
all pertinent information available for review when the hearing date is advertised. Commission
agreed to wait until the design guidelines are received before scheduling a hearing.

reported french drain is installed and twice the size as proposed. It has not been connected to the
downspouts yet because the siding package has been delayed for 8 weeks due to COVID. The
rain garden is ready although not all the existing downspouts have been diverted to it yet. Pavers
have also been delayed for 12 weeks, COVID as well. Currently the only new impervious
surfaces installed are the shed and covered porch 75o/o of which is draining on uncompacted
stone with no run-off. 25o/o or half of the shed is discharging and being filtered through silt fence
and straw bales. Mr. Sorenson asked for permission to extend the fence on the two back corners
to protect and prevent further damage to the existing plantings from run-off and people walking
and cutting the comer to close. Planning Commission approved the amended plan.
