January 2019 Newsletter

[ 0 ] January 4, 2019 |

Join us for our next monthly meeting, Wednesday, January 9 at 7 p.m, Aurora Hills Community Center. On the agenda:

Accessory Dwellings: A detail in the regulations precludes many existing detached structures from qualifying even if they meet setback and height requirements. We will hear about the case of one neighbor and a legislative fix he will be pursuing to address the Catch-22.

Elementary Schools—Boundaries and Projections: Arlington Ridge neighbor Colleen Pickford will share her experience in the Facilities Advisory Committee to look at the changing student population and the facility needs before APS in the coming years with a look at how that may impact our community.

Amazon: We’ll hear a presentation by members of the County Board and JBG-Smith, the landowner/developer who would be working with Amazon to develop its new campus. Come with your questions about Amazon’s agreement with the County and State, and the possible impacts or opportunities, including new residential density, schools, housing affordability, traffic, proposed infrastructure, employment, and more.

Other community updates: Scooter feedback; Kindergarten information night; Senior Center programs and trips; Aurora Hills Book Club; Christmas tree and leaf collection.
