After the introductions, Mayor Akin turned the hearing over to
Dr. Fulgham. Dr. Fulgham gave a brief summary of the work done
by the Planning & Zoning Commission and the consultant, J.T. Dunkin,
in preparation of the proposed ordinance. He then introduced Mr.

Mr. Dunkin explained the proposed changes to the zoning ordinance.
Instead of 7 districts, the proposed ordinance would include 9
districts. The change would add townhouses and condominiums to the
types of structures allowed. The change would also include Planned
Development which could either be single or multiple use.
Mr. Dunkin then solicited questions from the public. The main concern
from the majority of those present was the zoning on their particular
property. Mr. Dunkin, along with the Mayor and Dr. Fulgham assured
everyone present that the purpose of the public hearing was not
to rezone any property; but merely for the purpose of updating the
present zoning ordinance.
After all questions had been answered, Dr. Fulgham closed the public
hearing at 8:15 p.m. John Seeley moved and Frank McMillian seconded
