Town hall meeting Monday
The Spokane City Council on Monday will hold its annual Town Hall meeting at Northeast Community Center, 4001 N. Cook St., to hear from neighborhood groups about projects and concerns involving city government.
The meeting will be at 6 p.m. and will include an abbreviated legislative session prior to a series of reports from neighborhood representatives. The meeting is one of four town-hall style meetings held by the council each year.
Jean Farmer, director of the Northeast Community Center, and Kevin Walstrom, president of the Northeast Community Center Association, are expected to give a formal welcome to the council.
Reports are expected from the Nevada/Lidgerwood, Logan, Bemiss, Chief Garry Park, Minnehaha and Hillyard neighborhood councils as well as the Spokane Police Department and its community-oriented police substation volunteers.
Development hearing delayed
Spokane City Council members have agreed to postpone for two weeks an appeal by Five Mile Prairie residents of a proposed 42-lot housing development known as Estates at Rocky Ridge.
The council agreed to change the date of the appeal from Sept. 25 to Oct. 9 during the Monday council meeting. Steve Mumm and Erin Jennings are listed as the appellants.
The owners of the property are identified as Steve Biggar, James Biggar, Paul Hughes and Lesa Hughes. They are seeking a preliminary plat and planned-unit development for 13.5 acres of property at 3700 W. Lincoln Road. The project was previously approved by the hearing examiner.
