CONSIDERATION OF MORATORIUM ON DEVELOPMENT IN THE CENTRAL DRIVE AREA. Mr. George Mader, Town Planner, reviewed his memo to the Commission dated June 9, 1969, noting the following: 1) The development moratorium is proposed for the area bounded by Moody Road, Moody Court, Central Drive and Page Mill Road (MMCP Area). 2) The basis for a moratorium in the MMCP Area would be existing and future circulation problems for this area. 3) Proposed that the Town not accept applications for building site approvals or subdivisions and also prohibit the construction of new buildings within the MMCP Area for a moratorium period of approximately 6 to 8 months. Mr. Mader noted the City Council might reserve the right to grant exceptions where such exceptions would not appear to jeopardize the proper planning and development of the area. 4) The moratorium would give the Town time to prepare a circulation plan for the area and propose road standards. 5) A distinct possibility exists that a study might result in recommendation for a longer moratorium for at least part of the MMCP Area than the originally proposed 6 to 8 month moratorium on development.
