The ordinance recommendation would make Little Canada's zoning rules more permissive for certain accessory structures near water, but final approval is not recorded in these minutes. The Vanderbie property may proceed with the proposed detached building only after required approvals and documentation, including a surveyor-prepared site plan showing five-foot minimum side and rear setbacks and documenting impervious surfaces. The commission also discussed future planning priorities, including residential business areas, mobility options, aging in place, and housing density.
