SWAPO 2011 news... City Planning & Zonning Pass Rush Creek & Maharishi Sites

Although the zoning case passed, at least 2 restrictions were made to the Rush Creek site, one that the site be electric powered to reduce the noise level (except for back-up generators in the event of power failure) and two, the following traffic restrictions: No truck traffic between 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 4:30 to 6:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Approximately 230 neighbors attended the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting tonight, the major topic being the Rush Creek site which the Commission passed unanimously with the support of approximately 76% of the attendees. Many memorable comments were made in support of this site by several people, and the opposition did have their say. On a side note, an issue was raised over concerns about the Lake in Oak Lake Addition. The lake requires dredging at a minimum cost of $250,000 to save it. There was some discussion of how to do this, but no resolution.
The Maharishi site was approved too. (IH-30 and 360 approximately, specifically 601 Avenue H East)
Both issues will now go to the City Council Meeting on January 3rd at 6:30pm for approval.
