Proposed rezoning to allow heavy commercial/pest control


Please attend City Council this coming Tuesday night, April 11.

They will be discussing and hearing two items of immediate interest to the residents of the south end of Shady Brook. During a public hearing citizens are invited to express concerns, so please come and plan to speak!

1. At the 7pm Council meeting the first item on New Business is a Public Hearing and First Reading of a proposed ordinance to turn the old Balfour's Jeweler office into an exterminating company! From a nice clean office to one that might release chemicals into the creek if there is a flood!
What they are requesting is a rezoning to heavy commercial. The company indicates they will have too many vehicles for the lot so they will use the church parking lot for overflow -- what a sight as folks enter our neighborhood!

2. At 6pm at the work session Council will hear a staff report on the Sulpher Branch Watershed Study -- ie, a report on the creek just to our west. You would not be able to speak to this but would get a first hand report.

The meetings will be held in Council Chambers at City Hall, 2000 Forest Ridge Drive.
