Mr. Greenwood called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. by welcoming the new
members to the commission. He then introduced Mr. Isham and Mr. Wilson to the new
members.
Mr. Isham told the Board a little about his background in municipal law. He then
made a presentation to the Board that included the function of the commission in regard to
planning and zoning issues. The powers and duties of the Planning and Zoning
Commission were discussed along with what is considered a conflict of interest. Mr.
Isham briefly talked about the liability of the commissioners and how they are covered by
the Town's insurance because they are officials of the Town.
Mr. Wilson then gave the Board his background in architecture and Town
planning. He told the Board that the unified development code revisions are just about
complete as he has sent a draft to the Mayor and Town attorney. The next step is a joint
workshop with the Board of Aldermen to examine the revisions. Mr. Greenwood
requested that Mr. Wilson prepare an "executive summary" of the unified development
code. Mr. Wilson briefly described to the commissioners the procedure to follow when a
developer files for a PD.
After a lengthy question and answer session the commissioners decided to set a
regular meeting schedule. The commission will meet on the first and third Tuesday of
every month at 7:30 p.m..
The meeting was then adjourned at 9:04 p. .
