Misc
Mayor Crampton read the letter into the minutes addressed to the Washington County Division of Plan Review, Attn: Brennan Garrett, Chief Plans Examiner.
The letter is for the recently revised plan/specifications for the construction located at Saint Paul’s Lutheran Church, dated December 21, 2011. The changes were marked within “bubbles” and the perusal was cursory, however, the major concern was in a revamp of the “patio” as it related to the sewer easement. Approval has been granted to the redraw, and a note has been placed on the site plan. This would therefore signify approval of the complete revised plans/specifications as presented by MSB Architects for permitting.
Mr. Grimm, Zoning Administrator signed the letter.
