Commissioner Strauss then moved and Commissioner Maudlin seconded addition of a second resolving clause that this Commission "neither supports nor opposes the overlay as set down by the Zoning Commission on April 19, 2002".  The motion failed, 3-4-0 (Commissioners Kogan, Maudlin and Strauss in the affirmative).
