Application for Rezoning & Special Permit Withdrawn
Update on Winding Creek Woods project
|
An application for rezoning and special permit approvals for an apartment project proposed for property located at the northeast corner of East Henrietta Road and Goodburlet Road has been withdrawn by the applicant. A public hearing on the project scheduled for June 5, 2013 therefore is no longer necessary and will be cancelled. Since the time that this application was filed, the members of the Town Board and I have heard from many of you who own property near this property that have concerns and questions about the project. Many of your concerns were the subject of discussions I had with the Town Engineer and the Planning Board Chairman and also with the Town Board. |
|
Based on our discussions and your feedback, it seemed that there were significant obstacles for this project as submitted and therefore I recently contacted representatives for Morgan Acquisitions, LLC and suggested that they withdraw their application.
On Thursday, May 23 I did receive a letter from the attorney representing Morgan Acquisitions withdrawing those applications for rezoning and special permit approvals. I would like to thank Mr. Morgan for his responsiveness to this request and the concerns of the neighbors. Thanks also to those of you who contacted the Town to share your opinion.
