Asheville City Council preview: June 10 meeting

Posted on by Brian Postelle

A discussion of the Parkside issue looks to be a big draw for City Council’s Tuesday, June 10, meeting. The scheduled level-three conditional use-permit on the building was removed after developer Stewart Coleman shortened the building by two stories. But after a closed session meeting on June 2, Council plans to visit the issue in the form of a resolution objecting to Buncombe County’s sale of property on City/County Plaza.

Also on the evening’s agenda is a consideration of Railroad Quiet Zones, a possible allocation of Housing Trust Fund money to Mountain Housing Opportunities for a new development, and a public hearing on the 2008-2009 operating budget.

The meeting will begin at 5 p.m. on the second floor of City Hall. For the complete agenda, go here.

    I am happy to see that the AC-T has run a fairly good story on the Council vote in today’s paper. (Better late than never.) However, they have still not even hinted at the existence of all those nasty emails we uncovered from the County…
