It was noted by Town Attorney Moore that the Pulaski Town Planning Commission had been asked to review the Zoning PUBLIC HEARING Ordinance and make certain suggestions for changes in the present RE : PROPOSED NEW ZONING ordinance; that the Planning Commission had made an extensive ORDINANCE study of the ordinance and had submitted the proposed ordinance; that the Planning Commission had properly held its public hearing on the proposed Zoning Ordinance, and had presented the new ordinance to Council for its consideration and approval. Mr. Moore further stated that the Town Council had properly advertised its public hearing in the local newspaper for the purpose of hearing any persons who wished to make suggested changes in the proposed Zoning Ordinance; that a good many changes had been f ~~~~ Council mins. contd. 1/15/65 i made because it was necessary to conform with the changes required by State laws; that the ordinance refers to certain clauses in Title 15 which have been repealed, and these will be filled in in full; that Council will consider the changes suggested by those present at the hearing, and then bring the ordinance back at a later meeting for final approval.
