EMILY COUNCIL DECIDES ON ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY

The Emily Planning and Zoning decided last week that the Northern Lights Over Roosevelt Lake project did not require a more comprehensive environmental impact study. The city council will decide the question at Tuesday night's meeting. The council could order the EIS despite the planning and zoning board's decision or City Planner Chuck Marohn's support for a 'negative declaration', not requiring even the less comprehensive environmental assessment worksheet. The 48-lot housing project south of Emily covers 90 acres and straddles State Highway 6. Tuesday night's Emily City Council meeting starts at 7pm.
