MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 8, 2017
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: David G. Gould, Planning Officer
SUBJECT: Amending Zoning Ordinance
45 & 59 Hogan Rd — Low Density Residential (LDR) to High
Density Residential (HDR) — Council Ordinance 18-296
Please be advised that the Planning Board at its meeting on August 7, 2018, held
a Public Hearing on the above zone change request.
Chairman Charles Boothby asked the applicant or their representative to make a
brief presentation of the request. Mr. Fred Marshall of Plymouth Engineering indicated
that he was representing the applicant, Canoe Creek, LLC.
Mr. Marshall reviewed the details of the Comprehensive Plan and the rezoning
application's consistency with the Plan. He noted that the surrounding area has
changed greatly over time and that this property is shown in the comp plan as an area
for increased residential density. The applicant has no concrete plans for the site at
this time, due to difficulties accessing public sewer, however they are interested in
exploring the option.
Chair Boothby asked for public comment on the proposed zone change.
Sylvia Dyer of 73 Hogan Road expressed her concern about traffic impacts if a
significant number of housing units were able to be added in this area. She stated that
it was extremely difficult for her to enter & exit her property under current conditions.
Daniel Fowler of 95 Hogan Road also spoke in opposition to the proposal, stated
that he had lived in this neighborhood his entire life and was surprised to hear that it
could be changed so dramatically. He stated that he was concerned about how a large
residential complex might impact his property value.
Planning Officer Gould provided his staff report, stating that this area has been
identified for increased density since the 1979 Comprehensive Plan. He noted that while
the rest of the mall area has changed significantly over time, this area has not, likely
due to limited access to public sewer. He pointed out that adjacent areas on State
Street have increased in density significantly over the same period.
Member Huhn made a motion that the Planning Board recommend the City
Council adopt C.O. 18-296, amending the zoning at 54 & 51 Hogan Road from Low
Density Residential (LDR) to High Density Residential (HDR), Canoe Creek LLC,
applicant. Member Durgin seconded the motion. The Planning Board voted
unanimously in favor to recommend C.O. 18-296.
