Zoning administrator granted three variances and this is an appeal of those variances. The appellant has said shes only appealing two of them if you read the appeal. Three things i would like to say, one, the appellant made a comment that tndc would like the buy the property. Commissioner at the Planning Commission meeting held up a letter and said at the october 13th Planning Commission meeting this letter state to me that tndc isnt interested in this property.
