Wicklow Way Gets A Two Week Pause

slide12.pngBy Jennifer Wilson -

The Proposed Wicklow Way Subdivision was again the topic of discussion at Amador County’s Technical Advisory Committee meeting last week. Planner Heather Anderson advised everyone that all changes from the last TAC meeting had been incorporated into the project’s mitigation measures and conditions draft documents. Lemke Construction Director of Planning Susan Larson attended to answer any questions, but most departments involved with the project indicated the need for more time to review the finalized drafts. All agreed that bringing the item back to TAC in two weeks would provide sufficient time for review. If a finalized draft is agreed upon at that time, the committee will recommend approval to the Amador County Planning Commission, which will hold a series of public hearings on the documents. The Wicklow project, which has been in the works for four to five years according to Larson, would be located up above the K-Mart and Wal-Mart stores in the Martell area. And in regards to the project’s Final Environmental Impact Report, that document will be discussed at a public hearing at tomorrow night’s Planning Commission meeting, to be held at 7 PM at 810 Court Street in the Board of Supervisors chambers. A copy of the Final EIR is available on the county’s website at www.co.amador.ca.us/Depts/planning.
