Mayor asks for change in practice

At the City of Apalachicola’s October meeting, Mayor Van Johnson asked members of the city commission to consider using the services of local qualified Architects to conduct plan reviews for the Planning and Zoning Board.

At present, the city commission selects from a predetermined list of mostly out-of-town Architects and firms to provide this service to the city.

In making his request, Johnson said that there were Architects with backgrounds in historic preservation residing in the city, and that the commission needed to maintain those jobs in Apalachicola to benefit the people of Apalachicola.

The city commission will discuss and vote on the mayor’s proposal at their November 8, regular meeting.
