September 30 served as the final of three Community Council meetings regarding FECI’s request to alter the CDMP designation of the Ludlam Corridor. Again, numerous concerned citizens crowded the room and expressed their concerns over the potential land amendment. While the applicant continues to assure the public that they intend on dedicating 25% of the land to “a trail”, the language in the current proposal does not specify or guarantee anything. The vote was 4-2 Denying the application. All three councils have now sent a clear message for the Planning Advisory Board and the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). Keep in mind the BCC has final authority and could still choose to ignore the Community Council’s recommendations. We must continue to express the need and demand for a more collaborative public process! Please reach out to your local commissioner and inform them of your stance.
