Could you please post on the website that the March ZBA Meeting scheduled for March 24th has been cancelled due to no submitted applications.

We understand that parking at the Boat Launch has been a concern, and we want to provide an update on the situation. The City previously had an agreement with the Developer allowing them to use the area during the winter months through April 1. Now that we’ve entered the spring season, we have worked with the Developer to ensure that parking will be available for public use. By the end of the month, one-third of the parking spots will be designated for public use, ensuring better access for boaters and visitors. Until then, parking will remain first come, first served. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding as we work toward a long-term solution.
