Mr. Bono made a motion seconded by Mr. Bono to recommend the ordinance on the Planned Small Community Villages and Hamlets for adoption by the governing body.

MASTER PLAN
It was discussed that a meeting will be scheduled to review the amendment to the Master Plan.
Members of the public suggested calling the commercial re-development something other than re-development to avoid the State misinterpreting the zoning. The general consensus is that since the area in question is a soil mining operation, giving it that name would probably be a better choice.

ADJOURNMENT
On a motion duly made seconded and carried, the meeting was adjourned at 8:55 p.m.

Respectfully submitted, Stella Salazar
Assistant Secretary
