A lawsuit has been reactivated over use of land at the southwest corner of Broomfield Street and Crawford Avenue, the Mount Pleasant Planning Commission was told Feb. 7.
An attorney has recommended that the Planning Commission “back off” and not comment, planning director Tony Kulick told the commission meeting Thursday Feb. 7th.
“He thought it was inappropriate to comment on this issue now,” Kulick said.
Kulick said the majority of this year has been spent “getting sucked into the black hole of the Broomfield and Crawford issue” and what to do with the property.
For now the commission has decided to let the issue lie, but chairman Pete Orlik said it will be a future goal to keep in mind because the commission cannot control it right now.
The decision on what to do with the land between Broomfield Street and Crawford Road has been an ongoing issue for twenty years, said Orlik.
In other business, a two-story addition for new classrooms will be added to Sacred Heart Academy, at 200 S. Franklin St.
Site plans for the project in the C-2 district were approved unanimously.
The commission also unanimously approved installation of a 12-foot by 48-foot V-shaped billboard from Billboards by Johnson at 1993 Gover Parkway.
Orlik was re-elected chairman and Tim Wolff was elected vice chairman for 2008.
