-Section 4(F)(1)  Change the word “bylaw” to “ordinance”. 

-Section 5(A)(4)  Remove the words “or will comply”.

-Discussed Section 5(A)(6)(a)(1) from last meeting minutes on whether entry signs to subdivisions, like those the Pavloski’s have, need a permit.  They are 4’x8’ which are under the 35 square foot size limit.  They can be considered directional and used by contractors and delivery companies during and after construction.   They also can be considered temporary and would be removed within seven days when the last lot sells. At this point they would not need a permit.
