As there wasn’t a quorum, this was postponed.

Katherine Prammer sent a summary of the September 29, 2003 workshop.

 

John has sent Survey Card letter to Dr. Vilcheck for comments.  Comments are expected after the WBHC meeting on April 1st.

3.  Status of Pulte Homes

 

John attended a Board of Supervisors meeting concerning Pulte Homes.  At the meeting John made the point that the court case concerned bulk regulations so the settlement shouldn’t circumvent the ordinances concerning historic resources.  The Board agreed.  It looks like the Board will ‘ok’ the demolition of the barn on the Davis property on Bondsville but push for preservation of the barn on Zynn Road.

No news.
