#4 with no one opposed to the use of the MAPC Check List, (see original) it was decided that the check list should be mailed to applicable parties. The purpose of the check list is to be used solely as a guideline and that any/all ordinances would still apply and would still have to be adhered to.
In other business:
Mr. McCracken presented to the commission a letter (see original) that he and Mr. Sloan composed and sent to Mayor Brodell. The content of the letter deals with current issues and problems that the Commission is being faced with the lack of resources to handle them, as far as planning problems the City Council, the MAPC and other agencies are currently being faced with and from what areas solutions should be sought. One of the suggested solutions was for the City to hire a full-time City Planner to work with all the various bodies concerned with planning for future growth of the city.
