Folks, if you read the Daily Express article this week about Monday night’s council meeting, I need to clarify something: the paper completely misquoted Jill McCord’s comments.
At this two-hour meeting, we talked about the Brashear B&B situation for about 5 minutes. Mari Macomber mentioned to the Council that Tiffany Platte was in the process of repaving her driveway. She asked us if we were interested in restoring her special use permit after the work is complete, or make her reapply for a special use permit all over again.
Jill said she thought it would be a waste of time for us to make Tiffany go through the process all over again. In other words, she was IN FAVOR of granting Tiffany her special use permit back after she paved the driveway.
Here is what the paper said:
However, Councilwoman Jill McCord, who owns a competing Bed & Breakfast in Kirksville stated, “it would be a waste of time,” if the Council were to make a revision to the resolution passed last week.
