New Business:

Gene McCullough suggested that the Board work on making smaller lot sizes and reducing the size of a PUD from 15 acres to 5 acres.  He also mentioned the possibility of Amazon building a facility near the Pittsburgh airport.

Bob Monus mentioned that other communities are looking at making block zone changes.  This would involve rezoning areas of multifamily dwellings to single family dwellings.  He suggested that the Board may want to consider doing this as well.

Ron Massullo stated that the Board should schedule a workshop session in February to begin to address these issues.
