The board discussed the Fellowship Village development application, which requested a modification of a prior resolution and an extension of the period of zoning protection regarding construction permit and plan signature deadlines. The discussion focused on whether updated stormwater ordinances should apply to the development and included expert engineering testimony analyzing runoff impacts and potential effects on local flood hazard areas to determine if granting the extension would result in adverse consequences.
