Petition #6 by Richard P. McCoy and others to request that the zoning map be amended by rezoning lots off Industrial Drive and Lampson Road (lots 13-A-120, 13-A-150, 13-A-155, 13-A-160, 13-A-161 and portions of lots 13-A-191, 13-A-196, 13-A-197, 13-A-198, and 13-A-290) from Residential A to Limited Industrial.

                                                    Recommended by the Planning Board (5-2)

ARTICLE 3. To vote by ballot on the following amendments to the Windham Zoning Ordinance and Zoning District Map as proposed by the Planning Board.

Amendment #1: Amend Zoning District Map: by rezoning portions of all lots not zoned Industrial on the former Lamson Road and former Limited Industrial Road from Residential A District to Limited Industrial District, including Lots 13-A-120, 150, 155, 160, 161, and portions of 191, 196, 197, 198 and 290. The rezoning supports the Windham Master Plan 2005 by promoting office, industrial and retail development south of Flat Rock Brook and the southerly portion of Route 28.

                                                    Recommended by the Planning Board (4-3)

Please note that neither of the votes to recommend are unanimous.  Also note that the votes are not the same, as you would expect with proposals that are indentical in function.  The votes were made one month apart, and may indicate that there was a desire for more information before deciding whether to recommend.  There was a suggestion made at the October 24th Planning Board meeting that maps showing the overlay of the new roadways would be helpful, but the maps were not available during the decision-making time.
