Evans announced that a community meeting is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 1 at 5:30 p.m. to discuss a Board of Zoning Appeals matter involving property described in the transcript as "11 And Dirt Road." Evans said the Guwahara Cultural Association acquired the property two years ago and previously received BZA approval to build a new facility, but because construction did not begin within two years the matter must return to the BZA.
"On Monday, December 1, I will be having a community meeting about the board of zoning appeals, case for property that is on 11 And Dirt Road," Evans said. Evans gave the meeting location as 4418 Lebanon Pike (the old Lowe's).
Why it matters: returning to the BZA typically means neighbors and other stakeholders will have an opportunity to comment before the zoning approval is revalidated or revised. The announcement gives nearby residents and interested organizations a scheduled time and place to review plans and raise concerns before the BZA hears the case.
What was provided: Evans stated the date and time (Dec. 1 at 5:30 p.m.) and a meeting location of 4418 Lebanon Pike, identified as the former Lowe's store. No further details on the agenda for the BZA hearing, proposed building size, or the BZA hearing date were provided during the announcements.
Next steps: Community members who want to comment on the project were directed to attend the Dec. 1 meeting; the transcript did not record a formal motion, vote, or the subsequent BZA hearing date.
