Item No. 3: Amending Chapter VIII, Article 15, Section 1.3 and Article 6, Section 7 - Auxiliary Public Utility Structures in Low Density Residential Districts. City of Bangor, applicant. C.O. # 96-161. Chairman Myerowitz opened the public hearing and asked for proponents. Planning Officer Lord explained that this amendment would provide for limited "auxiliary public utility structures" to be placed in the LDR Zone. They would be exempt from minimum lot size but would be required to have some screening. Staff recommended approval of this amendment. The Planning Board discussed buffer yards and the additional planting proposed under this amendment. It was the feeling of the Board that there should be more planting than that proposed in this amendment and it was suggested that the zoning ordinance amendment be amended to change the A-2 and A-3 buffer yards to B-2 and B-3 buffer yards. Chairman Myerowitz closed the public hearing and asked for a motion. Mr. Drummond moved to recommend to the City Council that the zoning amendment contained in C.O. # 96-161 be approved as amended (by changing the A buffer yards to B buffer yards). The motion was seconded by Mrs. Woodcock. The Board voted 5 to 0 in favor of the motion. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Item No. 4: Planning Board Approval of Minutes of March 19, 1996 Planning Board Meeting.
