Wednesday
Town Board Public Hearing on rezoning in the Northeast: Monday, December 7. 6:00 pm.
The Town Board’s proposal would extend Conservation Zoning from the Lab of Ornithology to a portion of the adjacent Cornell property and the remaining Lucente parcels in the Town. This rezoning would reduce the density of future development to an environmentally appropriate level. It would also help to preserve the woodlands and wetlands found on the site while limiting stormwater impacts downstream.
This meeting is the culmination of a many-year effort for Northeast residents who have had concerns about the negative impacts of the proposed Briarwood II.
Discussions at recent Board meetings have revealed a divided Town Board on this issue, and we anticipate the vote to be very close. This might well be the final opportunity for residents to weigh in on this issue, and we strongly encourage you to attend this meeting and have your voice heard.
Location: Town Hall, 215 N. Tioga St., downtown Ithaca
Date: Monday, December 7, 2009 Time: 6:00 P.M.
