Forks Township Kings Mills Hearing - Round 24

The next round of the King Mill hearings is scheduled for Monday September 8, 2008 at 7:30 PM. The hearing will be held at the Municipal Building meeting room. 

In summary, this is an on-going hearing to hear a substantive challenge to 2006 Forks Township FP Farm Land Protection district regulations. The challenge states the regulations concerning the development of single family detached homes in the FP district are arbitrary, unreasonable, and unconstitutional because effect of the zoning laws discourage a landowner to develop the land with high density housing. The developer (KMRD) wants to built 1,952 condominium apartments, 359 townhouses and 731 mobile homes on 545 acres in new development called Kings Mill.

According to the Forks Action Committee (FAC), several actions may take place tomorrow night.

Monday's Hearing:

  • Township cross-examination of Dennis Glackin, KMRD's first rebuttal witness.
  • Testimony of second (as yet unnamed) rebuttal witness.

What may also occur:

  • Township cross-examination of the second rebuttal witness.
  • Review of the "errata sheets."
  • Summary arguments by both sides.
  • A vote by the Zoning Hearing Board

We are getting close to the closing arguments in this case. It is critical we show our support for the Forks Township legal team and send a clear message to the developers.  Respect our Zoning Laws!

 

Get Involved!  Every Voice Counts!
