Ordinances and Resolutions on 1st Reading:
Citizens Comments: H Caplin, the owner of 7 ½ acres in Aurora, spoke again about rezoning that property for senior housing that would allow owners of pets a place to keep their pets with them. He said the city has degraded the property by the Service Department’s use of the road. There has been no interest in the property for retail use. D. Conti had questions about the new development in Bainbridge of 330 apartment or condo units and concerned about the ingress and egress being so close to Aurora and whether they will put in another traffic light. Mr. Stark said it is not in Aurora’s jurisdiction. A man from California had received a traffic ticket which he thought was not warranted and wanted to know how he could request body camera footage of the exchange. Mr. DiPiero gave him his card and said he should contact him to discuss the procedure. Council Members Remarks: None The meeting adjourned at 7:30 pm. Comments are closed.
