The charge to the Golf CART was "To prepare an amendment to the <br /> Zoning Ordinance for presentation at the November 25, 1996, public hearing to <br /> include standards and approval procedures for golf courses and associated uses." <br /> The task force held its initial meeting on September 16. The first item for <br /> discussion was the charge adopted by the Commissioners and whether the task <br /> could be accomplished within the schedule for the November public hearing. The <br /> advertisement for the public hearing is drafted by mid-October, therefore, the <br /> recommendations of the Golf CART must be completed by October 11. <br /> Given the comprehensive nature of the amendment to be proposed and the <br /> numerous diverse issues involved with golf course development, the group will <br /> need more than one month to thoroughly examine the components of golf courses <br /> and the processes associated with their implementation and management. <br />
