Chairman Garrett referred to Item 16: Will the Board of Commis- sinners act to extend application of the County Subdivision Ordinance to all townships. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that in the meeting of the Technical Subcommittee to consider the Zoning Admendments, the Subcommittee had decided that extending application of the County Subdivision Ordinance to all township was a wise move and that this issue should take priority over revising the zoning plans.
