Jerry Tolbert discussed the class that he and some other Planning
members attended with UNA
last week. After discussion, Wes Ellis moved and Jerry
Tolbert seconded the motion that when
Staff Review comments are typed, each Staff
Review sheet should have each individual name
on it and read “no objection” instead of
“no comment”. When one member is not
present, put
that by their name. When making comments, especially those that
are opposed to approving a
project, it should state the specificity
of why they are objecting with Zoning Ordinance code and
sections and/or Building Code
sections. Motion carried unanimously.

Brewster came back with the deed that she thought was the one missing. Mark Stephens
read it and said that we already had that

time.

to the City
