We want to see the plans for new houses before building starts. We would like to see them 15 days before our meetings on the second Thursday of each month. We would only review the plans. When the contractor applies for the permit, a copy of the plans should be forwarded to the Council.

We discussed how we would let contractors know about this procedure. Mass media, contacting the property owner by letter was discussed as options.

The Council voted and approved the motion. Yvonne motioned to continue the meeting on 01-23-03. Julia Porter seconded the motion. The Council voted and approved the motion.
