Because of the times for the meetings concerning the comprehensive zoning meetings, it would not be possible for any working Supervisor to attend the meetings. Charles Champeny had volunteered as he was previously on the committee when he was a county board supervisor and he had no conflicts in time. He will be present at the meetings and report back to the board on the progress and ask the pertinent questions concerning our zoning. The board was concerned as to what would happen to our zoning, signs and other related ordinances if Conover adopted the County Plan and how the zoning districts would be laid out. The DOT lease was covered with a certificate of insurance issued by the Horton Group. Hedberg will send in the copies and also draft letters to the benefactors requesting their share of the lease and if they would like to pursue any improvements from the DOT on this area.
