6. Resolution No. 14-117 Appointment of a member to the Lewis County Planning
Commission.
Lee Napier, Director of Community Development, stated the Lewis County Planning
Commission is comprised of seven volunteers who review proposed comprehensive
plans and land use regulations on behalf of the citizens of Lewis County. The Planning
Commission conducts public hearings concerning land use and zoning issues and
makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners about how these land
use issues should be resolved. Planning Commissioners are not policy makers or
legislators and they do not work for the County. Their role is to represent the
perspective of local citizens as a counter-balance to the technical perspective of
professional planning and engineering staff in a policy advisory capacity to the Board of
County Commissioners. Planning Commissioners listen to complex testimony and strive
to find an appropriate balance between competing goals and values before submitting
their recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners. This Resolution
appoints Sue Rosbach as a new member on this commission.
Motion Carried 3-0
