Commissioner Price: Oh, I definitely will agree. <br /> Chair Jacobs: Was there anyone else here who wanted to speak on this item, who would not <br /> need to come forward and be sworn? If not, I'm going to say that we have a motion that was <br /> previously tabled and seconded, to move this item - <br /> Commissioner Gordon: I am withdrawing my substitute motion. <br /> Chair Jacobs: Commissioner Gordon is withdrawing her substitute motion. <br /> - to refer this to the planning board to return a recommendation for our May 8th 2014 meeting. <br /> Now do we any additional comment on this motion? <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 2. Zoning Atlas Amendment - To review an application seeking to rezone an <br /> approximately 12 acre parcel of property located at 5908 US 70 East in Eno <br /> Township from Economic Development Eno Low Intensity (EDE-1); Economic <br /> Development Eno High Intensity (EDE-2); and Lower Eno Protected Watershed <br /> Protection Overlay to Economic Development Eno High Intensity (EDE-2) and Lower <br /> Eno Protected Watershed Protection Overlay. <br /> Michael Harvey said this item is not a special use permit, but is a legislative action to <br /> review a re-zoning request.
