David reviewed the proposed amendment. He stated he was inclined to follow the recommendations of the Regional Planning Commission.
Diane Dillon stated that she felt the same way and didn’t want to loose any more industrial land also that being able to market the land either way would be a better solution for the sellers.
Bonnie Howe agreed with both.

J. Navarrete and M.D. or L. Conwell properties from G I to C 2 be disapproved. Additionally the Zoning Commission should consider placing all of the properties having frontage along Prospect Street,, north of Sandy Lake Road, in a Planned Commercial Overlay District, as the F.J. Navarrete property currently is. Plus the PCOD requirements should stipulate that five acres be established as the minimum acreage requirement for this are of the Township”.
