Public meeting at Aspen Ridge Townhome site with Buckeye butterfly Junonia coenia


The meeting of developers, the city engineer of Fayetteville, Arkansas, other city officials and members of the Town Branch Neighborhood Association planned for 8:30 a.m. Friday August 24, 2007, is now officially a public meeting.
The gathering set for the parking lot of the Town Creek Builders or Aspen Ridge Townhomes sales lot on the southwest corner of Sixth Street and South Hill Avenue became a public meeting subject to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act on Thursday night when officials announced that at least two council members — Adella Gray and Brenda Thiel — are expected to attend.

Gray and Thiel, who represent Ward I of the City of Fayetteville, were at Thursday's council meeting. Normally held on Tuesday, this week's council meeting was postponed to allow officials to attend the funeral for four members of the Hoover family who died in an accident last week while vacationing in Mexico.

All interested people, including representatives of all types of news media, are encouraged to attend this morning's meeting.

The developers have asked for a one-year extension of their permit to begin construction on the site. Such an extension would mean they would not have to actually begin work or correct any existing problems until June 29, 2008.

Members of the neighborhood association have asked that the council set conditions on that permit renewal and delay passing an amended city ordinance allowing for that permit extension until several problems on the site have been corrected. Please see previous posts for lists of conditions.
