Page | 2 Commission President Gelfman clarified that, in motions for denial, Commissioners are required to state their reasons for denial. Roll was called.

Commissioner Wyncott (NAY): Commissioner Gelfman (AYE): I vote aye for the reasons stated from everyone else on the commission, the standards and guidelines and there are other options that can be addressed with this issue.
