Call to Order: 7:00 pm
Roll Call -- Present: Woolery, Gross, Blanchard, Howden, Dorsett
Absent: Cunningham, McGlinchy
1. Update on Morning Hill property by Mark Rockwell. Members discuss
improvements to Walnut.
2. Presentation regarding request for zone change by Albertsons. Questions:
1. How will traffic be alleviated?
2. Who needs this store?
3. There are two full service grocery stores already in this area. How can you
make a profit with two stores within one to two miles of each other and
more grocery stores within only four miles?
4. Why do you have to come in our backyard with commercial? Why not stay
on Old Scholls Ferry?
5. Mr. Smithy Baker decision - zoning has to be consistent with
comprehensive plan - this neighborhood commercial being seven acres is
not consistent with the comprehensive plan.
6. Do we have the opportunity to express our views?
7. Are you saying there is no way we can change the size back to two acres
neighborhood commercial?
