Planning Commission — 2024-03-06

This record summarizes the Queenstown Planning Commission meeting of March 6, 2024. Guests included Cory Walters (follow-up on a driveway/permit and proposed pole building) and Peter Dey (inquiry about a fence and zoning requirements). Town Manager Amy Moore reported on MDOT and other trail grant opportunities, an HOA conversation about a possible sidewalk extension to the golf course, Comcast replacing green boxes, a $215,000 award for completing a lead water service inventory with a bid of $205,900, and USDA approval for water storage tank plans pending final easements and construction bidding. On old business the Wheatlands project had a few more revisions and a pre-construction meeting; the Commission voted 4–1 (Reno, Cain, Thrasher-Rieu, Snyder in favor; Bowell opposed) to disagree that Haven Ministries’ proposed day center qualifies as an accessory use and then unanimously recommended the town amend the ordinance to permit it as a special exception. The Corridor Management Plan had no update; the Commission also moved to request amendments related to '87 cannabis enterprises' (motion passed with no opposition). Minutes from February 7, 2024 were approved and the meeting adjourned at 8:46 pm.
