Chairman Mooney announced his appointment of Commissioner Floyd as Vice Chairman of the
Planning and Zoning Commission.
Commissioner Floyd pointed out that the minutes are sometimes conversational in style.
Commissioner Floyd asked that Consent Agenda Items No. 3.10 and 3.11 be removed from the
Consent Agenda and placed on the Regular Agenda.
Chairman Mooney, while referring to Regular Agenda Item No. 6, pointed out that a letter from the
applicant stated that the tower had been slightly moved on the site to accommodate the right of way.
Staff Planner Hitchcock explained that the faxed map that was included in their packets was to show
the Commission the site in relationship to the zoning district. Commissioner Floyd asked if the fence
for the tower site is required to be on the property line. Ms. Hitchcock stated no.
Senior Planner Kuenzel pointed out that four sub - considerations were to be acted upon by the
Commission tonight regarding the PDD zoning. Mr. Callaway added that the Validation Ordinance is
separate from the others so that it can be used until the UDC is adopted and because it is for the benefit
of the applicants that have already been through the PDD process. If you have concerns or want
additional work done on the proposed PDD regulations, it doesn't have to interrupt the processing of
the Validation Ordinance.
