APPROVAL OF MINUTES: REGULAR MEETING, NOVEMBER 6, 1978
Comm. Gottovi commented that she had voted "noe" on the final plat approval of
Inlet Point Subdivision on Page 195 because she had been informed there were no erosion
control devices in place and at that point she did not feel that they were ready for
final plat approval. She stated that she had since been informed by the County Manager
that the County Engineer had approved the eroision control methods so she felt the plat
approval was in order.
