upcoming meeting: Special Capital zoning district guideline discussions

From Gary Muller, Planning and Building Codes Director:

Below is the new language based on staff’s understanding of the last zoning update committee discussion. (this will be inserted as page 46 of the document (last page of chapter 3 – project planning and design review).

We would like to place the entire document for public hearing on the February 11 planning commission meeting if that is acceptable.

Otherwise, we would like to discuss this as well as re-initiating the Special Capital zoning district guideline discussions at our next Zoning Update meeting at 5:30 on February 9thfrankfort-shd

Window Repair Tips from John Leeke

“To me, the strangest problem is how many old-house owners have been persuaded to throw away all their fine old windows and replace them with plastic counterparts that will last only 5 to 20 years. A well-built old window can be maintained and repaired to last for centuries and can also be upgraded to meet current energy-saving goals with simple, low-cost treatments like exterior storms, interior air panels, or even ordinary roller shades.”
