Forks Zoning Laws Rock- KMRD loses again!

Tonight, Solicitor Karl Kline announced at the Forks BoS meeting, the court of Common pleas ruled against the KMRD procedural challenge. The judge ruled the township properly advertised its 2006 zoning ordinance and made copies available to the public. The judge denied the KMRD appeal with prejudice.

This is the second loss for KMRD in the last 5 months. In November 2008,  the court of Common Pleas rejected a KMRD appeal to conduct discovery for all four of the 1986, 1988,2001, and 2006 zoning ordinances. The judge denied this KMRD appeal without  prejudice.

Next up on the docket, is the Substantive Challenge, where KMRD charges Forks Township discriminate against low income housing.  The current KMRD proposal is to built about 3000 apartments, town homes, and mobile homes in the FP district. Yikes!
