(2) make any comments on the facts of the case or express any opinion on the investigation or recommendations that may be made to the commission; or

(3) commit any or all commission members to any opinion or action.

(f) Nothing contained in this rule shall be construed to prohibit an individual commissioner from doing a drive-by or walk-by site inspection provided that there is no communication with any interested party or petitioner.
