Due to the issues created in conjunction with the County's intention of changing the zoning regulations to allow the conversion of Residentially Zoned property to Commercial, making possible the construction of ten story buildings immediately adjacent to Residential neighborhoods, the Lyon Village Executive Meeting and General Meeting schedules will change for this month:

7pm on Monday, 2/5/07 at the Community House - Executive Committee Meeting

8pm on Monday, 2/5/07 at the Community House - Emergency General Meeting to discuss strategy for opposing the County's proposed zoning changes.

7pm on Monday, 2/12/07 at the County Board Room - Planning Commission Meeting, Rm 307, 2100 Clarendon Blvd.  Please attend the County Planning Commission Meeting in lieu of our regular Lyon Village General Meeting.

Please attend the County Board Meeting this Saturday.  The intention at the County Board meeting this Saturday is to consider four specific actions that would permit the Board to allow construction of a 10-story tower in Lyon Village.  They will consider a resolution authorizing the advertisement of public hearings by the Planning Commission on February 12, and the County Board on February 24 to change the zoning to allow the construction of high-rise buildings in Residential neighborhoods.

It is very important that we show our strong opposition to this development.  The Saturday Board meeting takes place at 2100 Clarendon Blvd, Rm 307.  The meeting begins at 9am, and this issue is near the start of the agenda.  You may fill out a speaker slip when you arrive to be placed on the list of those who would like to speak out on this issue.
