There was a discussion between the Commission the Mayor and the City Attorney.
This discussion was to decide what authority the Planning Commission now had
in view of the recent court ruling. It was decided that the Commission is to
continue operating as usual until further notice. It was also decided that the
Planning Commission should be more explicit in their fact finding and investigations.
The Commission is to continue its operation on an informal basis. It was also noted
that the commission is only an advisery body but, they have the authority to
to request traffic count, distance to intersections, school systems, etc. when
it is necessary to make a fair and accurate recommendation.
Allen Potter made a motion that we set a dedline on accepting rezoning applications.
He recommended the cut off time be set for the third Monday of each month which will
give ample time for prepareing and mailing out the agenda and other necessary
materials. The motion was seconded by Tom Corso and vote for the motion was unan-
imous.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:10 P.M..
