Master Plan Update - A Happy Ending!

2005.02.15

You might remember that your Board, along with the town homes board, the WTRBC and our concerned residents successfully fought and defeated a plan to erect a storage facility behind the Nik-Nak and the Wesleyan Church. However, our victory exposed a bigger zoning problem that surrounded our development. Our entire community was surrounded by 'Private Industrial' zoning. The bigger mission then became to get the land-use zoning changed to something more neighborhood friendly. Our Board worked with the Mayor's office and the planning board (as well as our aforementioned friends in the town homes and the WTRBC) to get the zoning changes in the Master Plan process. The last hurdle was to get the required zoning ordinances approved by council for the Master Plan changes to become law. Your Board is pleased to inform you that this Council vote, which took place on Dec. 6th was unanimously passed. Our portion of the Master Plan zoning changes are now a certainty!

The breakdown is as follows:

The SCHA Board would like to thank our residents who showed their pride and support for our community by attending the various planning board and council meetings. Further proof that together we can make a difference.
