However, the Preliminary Plat and Development Plan can proceed without rezoning, as it is the belief of Mr. Wille that he does have a contract. Van Horn read a letter from Mr. Goddard dated October 11, and requested the letter from Mr. Welch dated September 22 be included in the record. Chairman Sager announced there is no requirement for another public hearing, and thus, no need for additional information concerning these proposals from either the petitioner or the adjoining property owners. Discussion concluded, and it was moved and seconded (Brown-Burgess) that termination of Mr. Wille's application for rezoning be favorably recommended to the Board^ of Trustees as the signature on the rezoning application is improper (no owner's signature) and the ownership does not support the rezoning request, and it passed unanimously._ Commissioner Brown expressed his opinion that the Preliminary Plat and Development Plan should be discussed separately. 4 a /5.b.
