Several emails have been received indicating some East Lake Neighbors are planning to sign up prior to the 6:00 PM Regular Council Meeting to deliver comments of opposition to the proposed zoning changes included in the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment 4.
If you have time available, I urge you to join with your neighbors at City Hall this evening to deliver your opinions regarding these changes. If a previous speaker or two has already stated your same comments, simply take the podium, address the council by identifying yourself, provide your address and state that your are in agreement with the previous comments and that you are opposed to the changes proposed in Map Amendment 4.
If you haven't already signed our online petition, we are still collecting signatures at: www.thepetitionsite.com/1/MapAmendment4/
THANK YOU for taking the time necessary to help preserve the quality of our neighborhood.
