the next steps would be if it was approved.

if those restrictions are being taken out.

Mr. Wicker
commented that his concern was that if the note requiring underground utilities

added to ensure that the overhead power line that was there would be removed.

Staff Comments
Mr.

that would be for a next meeting, as a test to see if it will be feasible or not.

matters he prefers to take the hardcopy with him to the site to study it, and
asked if the electronic copy would limit his ability to that.
Mr.

also be in the electronic copy, which includes the staff report and

copy.
