Hearing on Eminent Domain in Prospect Ave. Project at Santee Council Meeting

Below is a summary of what is due to occur at this week's Council meeting. Santee Patch regularly reports on important happenings at the meetings.

The next meeting of the City Council begins Wed., July 10, 2013 at 7 pm:

Eminent Domain in Prospect Ave. Widening Project
The successful completion of the Prospect Avenue Widening Project requires that the city acquire privately held land. The city is currently negotiating purchasing prices with land owners, but has taken the first step towards securing the land through eminent domain. A public hearing will be held at this council meeting to discuss a resolution that would allow the city to obtain property through eminent domain. Property owners and others affected will be given a chance to publicly speak to the city council. Dozens of properties on nine streets are affected.

Zoning Change at 10775 Rockvill St.
The industrial warehouse between Sonrise Church and Route 67 at 10775 Rockvill St. may soon have a new tenant after nearly four years of vacancy. The warehouse, which was notably used for Santee Santas distribution during the vacancy, will be used for national shipments to unload on one side of the building and local delivery trucks to load on the other. The owners are asking that zoning be changed from Light Industrial to General Industrial.

If you want to publicly comment on any topic, fill out a speaker slip at the beginning of the meeting.
