submitted. Mr. Stoner indicated he understood this and stated that project would begin in Spring

Following discussion, the applicant, Mr. Stoner, agreed to waive the 60 day limitation on

projects within the City.
Chair Willson expressed his concern regarding lack of a quorum which precluded the Commission
from taking action on the business before the Commission in a timely and orderly manner.
