A little less Edgewater than we originally thought we’d have to deal with because they have a new project . . . I’m interested to see it before the committees as soon as they get their full application in . . .
Check out how much paper has been wasted (mostly the old plans for the Edgewater) for this Tuesday’s meeting where most of it is being referred.
Now you know why they the Council uses their computers!

5:30 PM PLAN COMMISSION; POSSIBLE QUORUM OF COMMON COUNCIL AND URBAN DESIGN COMMISSION ROOM 201 CCB
– Target
– Other Changes to Hilldale Site
– Project at McKee and Maple Grove Road
– Edgewater is items 8 – 10 which is recommended to be referred, but they will still be having a public hearing, so people could still testify if they wanted and they may talk about process.
