City council agenda covers land transfers and zoning changes
The council gave first readings to two land donation ordinances for park use from the Kalmia Hill HOA and for Stratford Hall, approved water service for Wise Hollow Road subdivision, and amended zoning to combine R 1S and R 1E, set 100 foot lot widths, and remove stables as conditional uses in R 3. The body backed rezoning for a Jones Avenue property to permit a real estate office, approved a NAACP 80th anniversary resolution, and restricted Huntsman Drive truck traffic for safety. Also approved a temporary road closure for Aiken's Makin' event on The Alley and Bee Lane with emergency vehicle access preserved.
