Update on St. Mary’s Article 80 Process
- Article 80 Page (Comments Close 10/23)
- JHA Planning & Dev Letter
- The Planning & Dev committee met, reviewed the presentation, attached a letter (view here). The spirit of the letter is that we are in favor of the project, but there are some considerations we would like them to keep in mind, including that it is a large structure with a lot of parking.
- Note that there will be a future traffic study on traffic concerns in the area, including speeding on the hill, and the relocation of St. Mary’s entrance to Jerome from its current location on Windermere.
