SPEAKER(S):
(Commission Secretary Avery read into the record the following letter from Ms. Sue Hestor pointing out that on the last page the proposed for adoption states 021004 should be 021005:)
David Pilpel
- He will be happy to look over the section of the Commission Rules with regard to Discretionary Reviews and Conditional Uses.
