This is the reason this item was placed on the agenda. <br />Commissioner Adams said if they want to reach concurrency, which is in the Comp <br />Plan, then the Board does not have a choice. <br />Commissioner Lowther agreed. <br /> <br />CALLED THE QUESTION <br />The Chairman and the <br />motion carried by a 3-2 vote, Chairman Ginn and <br />Commissioner Lowther opposed.
