Extra notes from Weaverville Town Council

* Cindy Ward of the Weaverville Business Association presented the council with a framed poster of the second annual Art in Autumn festival as a gesture of appreciation for the town's support.

* The town received a plaque from the National Relay for Life committee for raising more than $1,700 during its Relay for Life campaign earlier this year.

* There was some initial dissension among the council members over proposed changes to the town's subdivision codes. The matter, which will be the subject of a public hearing before council discussion Dec. 15, would essentially place decision-making power in the hands of the zoning administrator on small subdivision issues concerning property less than five acres in size. Vice Mayor Dottie Sherrill stated her support of it while Councilman Gene Knoefel liked the idea of the town's planning and zoning board maintaining its ability to authoritatively review the land use plan on all subdivision concerns. More on this at next month's meeting.
