Commissioners reject suggestion to appoint zoning hearing examiners
The Meade County Planning and Zoning Commission, during their Dec. 17 meeting, rejected the recommendation to appoint zoning hearing examiners, choosing, instead, to hear all cases as a full commission.
The bylaws allow the chairman to appoint one or more persons to conduct hearings independent of the commission and then report to the commission in open session. A vote on said issues would not be made directly on the heels of the hearing, as has been the commission’s practice until this point, except on rare occasions when they tabled an issue to gather more information. Planning and Zoning administrator Tony Coletta recommended this action in light of several emotionally charged issues the commission will likely be hearing in the near future.
