Bremer stated she has less of a concern since they are not actual bodily remains but rather ashes. <br /> <br />Bremer moved, Franchot seconded, to direct Staff to draft a zoning code text amendment to <br />address inurnment and/or burial of cremated remains at places of worship and to send it back to <br />the Planning Commission for their review.

Franchot stated he also <br />would suggest that the City consider having that intersection changed to a four-way stop sign rather than a <br />two-way stop given the speed of the traffic on Brown Road. <br /> <br />White noted tomorrow night’s work session has been cancelled. <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 09/13/2010 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 08/23/2010 [Page 6 of 18]
