It has been since early June since we went to Edgerton via this route -breakfast at Harmer's. I plan on doing that again this week. It is a little over 19 hilly miles each way.
It looks like a cool start but warming to near 60 by the time we return. The wind is mild out of the North.
FYI - 2 ADDITIONAL THINGS
(each banner below links to additional info)
THING 1
The Line Creek Loudmouth shared this post on Facebook concerning planned changes to the Line Creek Trail and surrounding areas. You might consider this meeting.
SAVE THE DATE - WE NEED 30 PEOPLE!
Thanks to the turnout from our group at the last City Plan Commission Meeting on Oct. 16, the Park Hill School District did NOT get the Special Use Permit (needed in order to build the LEAD Center and 3rd high school in the Line Creek Forest).
However, they did get a CONTINUANCE.
This means they can keep their application for a Special Use Permit on the docket for approval at the next meeting: Nov. 6 (yes, election day).
We've said all along we want to partner with them. So if they decide to listen (really listen) to their community and adapt their plan, which includes making a permanent conservation pledge for part of the forest, then we want to give them that chance.
If that does not happen, we need AT LEAST 30 of our supporters to join us at the November 6th meeting (not speak, unless you would like), but stand up and represent our effort.
All are welcome! And there is no minimum time or number for public comments if you choose to speak.
If the Special Use Permit is approved at this meeting, the permit will be sent for Zoning approval, and then the school will be able to continue their development plans. Currently these plans do not include ANY conservation plan for ANY part of their forest acreage.
THING 2
You're invited to join us at our new office open house!
Thursday, November 8
Any time between 4:00-7:00 p.m.
