Organizational Meeting Committee Chair Davis stated, I apologize. We have been doing so much zoning that we didn't have the organizational meeting. This is that. What I would like to hear is what we would like to get from ourselves, our Attorney, our Clerk, or anybody here that would help us as we look at all of our zoning issues as we go forward. Is there anything we need ahead of time that would help as we deal with zoning?A lot of zoning issues are not like what we have to deal with tonight. I would say seventy-five to eighty percent (75% - 80%) of them are we roll on. But then there are always those twenty to twenty-five percent(20% -25%)that your emails and phones blow up and people love and hate you all at the same time. And so, zoning has been a tremendous experience since I have been on it. You are right in people's homes, their offices and families and everything else and so everything is going to show. What do you think we need as we move forward? Councilmember Karen White stated,I would like for us to look at and have information about how many special exceptions we have had to deal with over the last two (2) years. I want to know the most common reasons for those. Also, as we look at individuals buying property before they come to us, is there a better way to deal with those types of issues? I will email you, Councilmember Davis, my list of suggestions.
