Note: Where the transcript recorded only a voice vote with “All in favor? Aye,” this summary marks the item as approved; where a roll-call tally was given (for the zoning appeal) the recorded count is shown. Several items required follow-up action by county staff (e.g., tabling an item for one week, additional engineering/percolation testing, or recording minutes reflecting the reversal).
