Commissioner Duane Bischoff stated Wednesday that the committee is not making changes to the ordinance.
"We're making comments to the plan commission. So, we're going to forward our comments to them. They'll in turn have to make any changes before it would come back to the commissioners. We are not editing or changing, we're just making suggestions," said Bischoff.
