IV-A-15 The discussion went on to item 5 - the LCC request- to add to its exceptions. Cynthia Wooten announced her opposition to the request as the land is not planned for educational purposes. Q:. Scott Lieuallen Why is the land being requested? A: Gretchen Miller LCC bought the land to preserve its sewerage lagoon capacity because there is another area that has right to use the LCC lagoon and LCC felt it need the lagoon entirely, so LCC bought that land.

Springfield objected to item 13 - addition of "commercial use" to policy. The Commissioners wished for clarification of the item, so Mayor Keller asked Steve Gordon to explain item 13.
