The Board believes that it is currently zoned as RAG, but Ms. Shaver could get a special use permit to use the building for what she wants to. There was then discussion on if she would be able to get a special user permit before she purchases the building. Secretary Safford will ask Town Atty Attea if that is allowed, and she will speak with Ms. Shaver after that conversation.

The Members then started to discuss the new Code updates. M. Cochran thinks that before any new notes are made the Members should talk about the notes that are currently in there, and delete what is taken care of. J.
