Additionally, the council will review proposed changes to Section 10-5 of the Municipal Code to shift Land Use Appeal Authority from the Town Council to an Administrative Law Judge. The third item involves amending Section 10-6A-5 to transfer authority for determining setback requirements in Forestry and Recreation Zones from the Town Council to the Planning Commission.
