Old business:
- Tim asked about the status of the Noble Hill and Brintnal Estates projects.—Have two (2) years passed with no shovel in the ground? Addison stated that he did not want to force building or sale to a third party by putting undo pressure on a builder—let the economic factors prevail.
- Norm posed the question--that if we declare a Special Permit no longer valid does that mean the original plan cannot be built because the Special Permit provides for a smaller lot size and reduced frontage? This prompted discussion of whether or not we can rescind.
