The Interpreter's Tapestry

Metropolitan Planning Commission Tips  
  • Get an agenda before the meeting (available online and on the planter in the lobby prior to the meeting.)
  • The meeting starts with the end of the packet - postponements & withdrawals list, then consent items list. Mark these off in the main packet so you can find what is left.
  • Use space to describe location of property (I generally set an INTERSECTION, then name the roads, then locate the property N,S,E,W of the intersection.)
  • Bring a local map if you are not completely familiar with Knoxville (and sometimes even when you think you are!) or a laptop to access Google Maps, KGIS KnoxNetWhere, and full agenda items using the open wireless connection.
