A Reminder From Avensong HOA President Alan Tart.

As a reminder . . .

The following re-zoning requests affecting the Highway 9 area will be heard at the 11/27 (TONIGHT) Planning Commission meeting. A sewer extension request will also be heard tonight. See entire packet for more information:

http://www.cityofmiltonga.us/cityclerk/pc/2007/Packet-PC-11-27-2007-r.pdf.

Most, if not all, of this business will be brought before the city council in December. Since the Planning Commission’s recommendations are considered by the council in their decision making process, I urge you to attend and speak on the requests of concern to you. Also, write the Mayor and city council members and express your approval/disapproval of these re-zonings and/or variances.
