Discussion ensued regarding pgs. 36, 38 and 54 from the manual. It was decided for Attorney Newt Cunningham to look at the issue and get back with his recommendations. Motion was made, seconded and passed to table item till Mr. Cunningham gets back with the Commission. Continued See Lake Zoning on page 4
