The meeting was called to order at 7:50 p.m. by Vice-chairperson Zoe Perkins (Mr. Miller was a few minutes late) and then turned over to Manager Heist. Mr. Heist referred to items from the previous meeting which had not been brought to a final decision:

• After consulting with Fronefield Crawford and Craig Kologie, Mr. Heist reported that they all felt sure a "family subdivision" of ten-acre lots could be produced using Tier 2 provisions. For parcels less than 10 acres, there is the need to allow subdivision without requiring the tier system. It was suggested that such parcels be allowed to subdivide using the existing RC, R-3, R-2 base zoning densities.
• Section 1102B.10.d. & e.:  1) Board of Supervisors discretion will remain. The word "plan" is to be added to read: A parking and traffic control plan is submitted . . .
• 1203B. & C. (VCC): wording will be changed to indicate either right-of-way width or front yard setback.
• 1203I. (VCC): maximum building size will be 65,000 sq. ft.

Discussion of other items went as follows:
