Thanks to your help, on Monday night, June 20, the Chapel Hill Town Council voted to protect Jordan lake and to adhere to our land use ordinances.<\/p>\n
In a 5-4 vote, Council members Bell, Greene, Ward, Rich, and Harrison rejected the proposed rezoning change for the Aydan Court 90-condo luxury development. The video tape of the many hour public hearing can be seen here.<\/p>\n
We won this close vote because of your willingness to get involved by signing the petition and emailing your concerns to the Council. Our community spoke loud and clear that this was the wrong project for such an environmentally sensitive area, and our voices were heard.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s thank the Council members who recognized the importance of following our ordinances and protecting our drinking water: Donna Bell, Sally Greene, Jim Ward (all three of whose seats are up for re-election this year), Penny Rich, and Ed Harrison (who most forcefully advocated against the rezoning).<\/p>\n
Together we have made a difference!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
