Residents of Etowah,
Planning Board Meeting
We are continuing to prepare for the October Planning Board meeting when the Board will meet to decide whether to approve the applicants’ Master Plan or not. Based on past experience, we anticipate the applicant will revise the current plan. We are contacting the Henderson County Planning Department each week to find out if new or additional documents are submitted by the applicant. So far, nothing has been received by the Planning Department.
Last week we focused on our traffic survey. Over 450 members of the Community responded to the survey, producing a “WOW” reaction from our traffic engineers. Members of our team have analyzed the data and produced several graphics for our engineers. We greatly appreciate the community’s response to the call for responses.
County Commissioner Meetings
The County Commissioners met on Tuesday, September 5th to discuss the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The Commissioners spent considerable time reviewing maps showing proposed housing densities, and in particular, Etowah. Commissioner Lapsley argued the proposed density for Etowah is too high. The group plans to revisit this topic at their September 20th, 9:30 AM meeting. Please plan to attend. More information will be provided soon.
