Appl. #01-28P, Willowbrook Golf Course
Chairperson Warren stated that the Commission is here to determine if a public hearing is necessary on this application. It is not the Commissions intention to review the application or have a presentation. Because of the impact and large number of neighbors on the perimeter of this project, a public hearing would be necessary.
Commissioner Heffler stated she would rather hear the scope of the project during the public hearing and also felt the impact on the community and the amount of proposed impact to the wetlands represent a significant activity which makes it necessary to hold a public hearing.
