Gazette:Planning Board Wrong on B. Oaks
The Gazette has run an excellent editorial in opposition to the Planning Board’s 4-1 decision approving the Barnesville Oaks Subdivision, a 24 house development on the largest remaining parcel of farmland in the Ag Reserve. The article speaks to the fact that even with the protections of the Reserve, “continued vigilance is required.” Thanks to all those that have been both vigilant and vocal throughout this process by sending letters and attending hearings.
Despite the disappointing hearing, MCA will be filing a Motion to Reconsider within 10 days of the written decision. Staff is gathering all the necessary materials for this filing now.
Additionally, MCA has partnered with Sugarloaf Citizens Association to hire legal representation for this issue. To help in this effort, please consider a donation to the Barnesville Oaks Legal Fund through our secure pay pal site.(In the message box, please write “Barnesville Oaks Legal Fund.” Thank You!)
