\nSubject: RE: Text Amendment<\/p>\n

\nThe motion to table the issue is made by the Commissioners. Chairman
\n
\n<\/a>
\nPaulk thinks (and I agree) that this issue cannot be satisfactorily
\nsettled by December 11th and that the new Commission should take it
\nup. It is not unusual for Chairman Paulk to weigh in on whether or
\nnot we should table an item. Often times he is in a unique position
\nto give an informed opinion and in this case I concur.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe proposed text amendments, if approved, do not endanger Moody’s
\nmission or survival. If I have my way, the MAZ will be strengthened
\nin the areas closer to the base while easing development
\nrestrictions in the areas furthest away. Even a cursory glance at
\nthe ULDC and MAZ 1-3 reveals certain issues which must be addressed
\nin an effort to be equitable.\n<\/p>\n

\nI reject the template which argues\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

\nthat adjusting the MAZ at all
\nequals a disdain or lack of affection or appreciation for all that
\nMAFB brings to Lowndes County. Moody Air Force Base grants this
\nCounty a distinctive which other communities envy. The proposed text
\namendments are no more or less complicated than this: we have an
\nordinance which needs to be reviewed and adjusted in order to more
\nequitable land use policy.\n<\/p>\n

\nRegarding Mr. Joyner, I must admit that I’m a little lost as I am
\nnot aware of previous Commissions’ relationship to him. I simply
\ndon’t know what you are referring to. Regarding the proposed text
\namendments, however (which is what we’ve been discussing) he has
\nnothing to do with that.\n<\/p>\n

\nMy family and I are spending the day out at Moody with the 41st RSQ
\ntomorrow so I will try and give you a call Monday. I have to travel
\nout of town immediately after the work session to meet with an
\nemployee on Monday but perhaps we can chat then.\n<\/p>\n

\nHave a wonderful weekend.\n<\/p>\n
