A Friendly Reminder of Important
Upcoming Meetings
|
|
Dear Milton Friends, Neighbors and Citizens,
This is a
friendly reminder regarding important upcoming meetings this week both
in Milton and at our borders. Monday, March 17th Mayor and
City Council meeting includes three requests for rezoning, some of
which are requesting withdrawal. Please note while an applicant
can request withdrawal once the case has been advertised the public
hearing will be held.
Tuesday, March 18th at 7pm at the Canton City Hall in downtown
Canton the Georgia State Environmental Protection Division, (EPD) is
holding a public hearing on the proposed sewerage treatment plant north
of Milton's borders. This public hearing is in response to hundreds of
letters received from Cherokee residents and Milton citizens. As
noted in earlier releases and as reported by the news this proposed
plant would bring increased density, greater stormwater run off thereby
negatively impacting the rural character of this region.
As you may have read in the newspapers, Cherokee Water and Sewerage
Authority has denied its intent to bring sewer service into Milton.
Please remember that there is sewer service within a half-mile of
Milton in Cherokee County. An earlier document from the Metro
North Georgia Water Planning District also notes additional sewerage
capacity coming from Cherokee to serve North Fulton for a regionalized
approach. If you have not sent a letter expressing your opinion
about this proposed sewerage treatment plan please do so. Your
opinion still matters. Both letters and attendance at the EPD
hearing are critical. A copy of the sample EPD letter for your
reference may be found using this link.
Equally important you should have received your Milton Citizens
Survey in the mail. It is critical that this survey be
completed and mailed in by Friday, March 21st. I
appreciate you taking the time to provide your opinion to the Mayor,
City Council, Staff and the CPAC. This survey is vital to the
Comprehensive Land Use Planning Update process.
Also, on Wednesday, March 19th in Forsyth County, a Community
Public Information Meeting is being held regarding a proposed development
on the borders of Milton and Forsyth, near Bethany Bend Road and
McGinnis Ferry. There is a proposal for 87+ acres at this
location to become a continuous care facility. The Forsyth County
Government Center is at 110 East Main St. Cumming, GA 30040.
Your direct
involvement allows me to be even more effective on your behalf.
