He explained that the extreme left hand column was a list of cri teria that cities regul ate. The second col umn shows what criteria was not addressed by the Comprehensive Plan although they are addressed in the Code of ordinances. Mr. Goodrow suggested going through the pages, and in those places where the Comp Plan does not address any of those particular criteria, now would be the time for the Board to discuss what they feel should be addressed or not. When this gets re-written we want to take into account any issues someone might think ought to be included as well as the Comprehensive Planning Policy issues.
