Frankfort zoning hearing weighs changes to plan
Residents and business representatives voiced support for the commission's zoning and land use revisions while seeking modifications. Critics urged reclassifying 480 acres near the airport from residential to mixed use and opposed high density housing near Route 45 Lincoln Way East. A plan for park and light industry, concerns over traffic and sewer capacity, and preservation of the downtown Historical District were discussed. The hearing record will be reviewed, with final village board decisions not expected until month’s end.
