Mr. Bob Mauldin, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, recommended that the County acquire the necessary property during the next five years in order to adequately meet the recreational needs of the county. Mr. Fletcher L. Hartsell, Jr., County Attorney, asked that the Board consider a clarification to Rezoning Petition 89-18 which was presented by the American Newland Group on February 19.
