Still no public comment on the historical significance of the 5 homes in question Perhaps, that's why this hasn't been up for a meeting in October. Have your Public Comments ready - Reminder there is a time limit (I think it's 2 min) It is helpful to the board and the board secretary if you have 10 copies of what you plan on saying so they can listen to you, but also have a copy to refer to when they go into closed session.

The meetings where no public shows up, the boards sometimes go with the "silent majority" Is that what others took away from the meeting also? Having something that big, right next to and in front of the homes there (with all the 24 hour lights and noise) sounds stupid to me. I guess they're asking for use variances and not re-zoning?
