At a brief June 25 meeting the Lower Blue Planning Commission corrected prior minutes, approved an agenda that removed public hearing PLN24-041 after the applicant withdrew, elected Joe Newhart chair and James Donlon vice-chair, and adjourned at 5:37 p.m.

Joe Newhart, chair, called the Lower Blue Planning Commission to order at 5:30 p.m. on June 25, 2024.

Planning Director Susan Lee asked the commission to delete Public Hearing item PLN24-041, the Service Plan for the Overlook at Summit Sky Ranch Metropolitan District, noting that the applicant withdrew that application on June 24, 2024.
