Article 5: Following a review and brief discussion of the proposed Section 4.12 addition to
the Zoning Bylaws entitled Downtown Smart Growth District, the Committee agreed that new
construction, in addition to the renovation of existing buildings, would be a great
improvement for the downtown area.
George noticed (all the way from Florida) that under Section 4.12.5.1, there was a duplicate
number 6, prompting the Committee to suggest changing the 6 to 7 and 7 to 8, thereby have
the numbers follow in consecutive order.
On motion of Jack Russell, seconded by Dolores Carroll, the Committee voted to recommend
the subject matter of Article 5, with corrections, by a vote of 4-0-0.
6:55 p.m.: Meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
.
Dolores S. Carroll
