Communications/Public Present – Ron & Paula Charter were present and wish to comment on an up and coming project they had in the works. They have a purchase agreement with Monroe Bank & Trust to buy the MB&T building on M-50 with the intention of opening a state licensed child care center. They currently own a child care center and lease space out west of town, they would like to have their own building. They would like to know what they must do to make this happen.

       Chairman Bronson noted that the main hurdle would be that it is zoned Commercial and it is not allowed in a Commercially zoned property. It was brought up that one possibility would be conditional zoning. Mr. Charter said they would get back to us after he investigated that and a number of other things.
