Post #425: CORRECTION: Public meetings this week regarding MAC zoning.

Posted on October 21, 2019

CORRECTION:  Tonight’s Town Council work session is in the Community Center, not in Town Hall as I stated previously.

 

There appear to be two public meetings this week relevant to MAC zoning.

 

Monday, 10/21/2019, at 8:00 PM in Town Hall, Town Council will hear a petition to appeal final approval of the Marco Polo/Vienna Market project.  At issue is white siding covering the backs of the (otherwise) brick buildings.  MAC statute “design criteria” appear to require that the front and back of a building match, when the back is visible to the public.  A citizen filed a petition asking the Town to enforce that and so require that the backs be covered in brick, not siding.

Because this is a public hearing, I believe that citizens may speak for up to three minutes.

The relevant materials can be found here:
