Franklin County judicial decision and 26 <br />modify other sections to ensure consistency within the ordinance. 27 PRESENTER: Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor 28 <br /> 29 <br />Michael Harvey noted he had provided a synopsis of the changes this evening as a handout. The changes mostly 30 <br />involve combining categories to simplify the table. He noted the intention is to create a more streamlined table, with 31 <br />similar uses grouped together, and only keeping uses separate that have special requirements (like breweries) or 32 <br />that the county wishes to ban. 33 <br /> 34 <br />Michael Harvey anticipates this coming before the Planning Board in August. The county commissioners will be 35 <br />invited to offer comment. 36 <br /> 37 <br />A question was asked about a building permit for the recently erected large flag on U.S. 70, with concern that the 38 <br />pole is already leaning. Michael Harvey answered that the county attorney’s office was looking into whether the 39 <br />flagpole required a building permit. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Michael Harvey cautioned that the attorney’s office is interpreting the text amendments regarding flagpoles differently 42 <br />from how he interpreted that language. Any board members with concerns should express them to the county 43 <br />attorney’s office. 44 <br /> 45 <br />The meeting was adjourned by consensus at 8:01 p.m. 46 <br /> 47 <br /> 48 <br />Lydia N.
