Supervisor called the Public Hearing for the Establishment of a DDA to order at 7:35 PM

 

Supervisor introduced Tory Niewiadomski from Jim Fould’s office.

 

Supervisor explained what a DDA does and does not do and explained that it would not

increase their taxes until developed or change their zoning unless they requested a zoning change.

 

She explained that the tax money that is captured from development can help attract

and help make improvements.  Would like to see good improvements in the proposed area.

 

Jim Albertson 3165 Canal asked if the area around the old Mary’s and Davis property

were included - the answer is yes.

 

Victor Lewis 6370 News Rd asked about sewer and water and if this was the real area.

The area can not be made larger but could go smaller.  Could help with sewer and water,

if needed.  Blair explained that the sewer board would have to work on design as the plant

is geared to the areas currently in a sewer district.  There could be extensions but would

explore as progress.

 

William Long 6574 News Rd asked if sewer and water can be put down a private road.

Not sure but no plans for it at this time.

 

Austin Robison 9453 Billwood asked how the map was developed.  Supervisor explained

that went along Lansing Road and tried to avoid residential and include commercial and

industrial.  The parts must be contiguous and start and end at one point.  They did hit a

couple of homes but the map is not concrete until the final plan.  Was concerned as his

home in the district and neighbors not.

 

Jim Albertson 3165 Canal asked about the captured tax money going into DDA and would

it help with the area and attract businesses.  That is the plan but no water & sewer at this time.

 

John Migaldi 10475 Hartland asked when this would take place.  There is a 60 day hold

for comments from taxing units to respond.  So nothing will happen until after that period.

Have told the county it would only last for 7 years.

 

Meredith Smith 6394 Windsor Hwy asked if school districts would be changed – no

Also confirmed that no zoning changes without a request. 

 

Supervisor announced that nothing more would happen tonight and Trustee Blair told

them to watch the web site for more information.

 

Public hearing closed at 7:43 PM.

 

Sgt. Doug Burkhardt, Eaton County Sheriff Department. reported that we have had 112

calls with 60 being traffic in the past two weeks.
