Edwards said he does not like the sunset provision and requested a separate vote <br />on that section of the ordinance. <br /> <br /> Ms. Slaughter said that the issue of signs in Section 34-679 is an area that the city could <br />have more coordination with the eountv. <br /> <br /> Ms. Slaughter asked what the county requires regarding hard asphalt driveways and <br />expressed concern that these surfaces will create more area for mn-off.
