meeting. Vice Chairman Berger explained that the Board had not
exercised time limitations on special exceptions as allowed per

adopted a Comprehensive Plan and explained that a special exception
allowed for that plan to change . Discussion followed.

that had been granted to a tire store based on the concept which
had never been built . It was noted that residential housing

aware of that previously granted special exception. Discussion
continued.
It was the consensus of the Board members that if during their
