Geof Gledhill said that his recommendation is to ask the <br />10 applicant to do this. <br />1 I Mike Hamrnersly said that he would be happy to withdraw the application for phase 2. <br />12 Geof Gledhill said that the easiest way to deal with it would be to remove the <br />1.3 improvements that make up phase 2 from the application. The permit would apply to the whole <br />14 20 acres, but the facilities would not be approved as far as the special use permit. <br />15 Chair Jacobs said that a condition could be added that Storey Lane shall be a public <br />16 road, <br />17 Commissioner Gordon suggested scheduling this for another meeting and not taking <br />18 action tonight.
