While the Developers state the project will do nothing but enhance and improve Jackson and its existing infrastructure many community members did not agree. Some of the concerns mentioned throughout the night included, traffic, sewer constraints, drainage, water capacity, destruction of oak woodlands, the projects proximity to agricultural lands, its impact on local schools, and some of the public’s concern that the project is not paying its fair share of the impacts on the local community. Last night, after 5 hours, the Jackson Planning Commission decided to once again continue the issue. This means that the planning commission will once again take up the issue of just what recommendation to give to the city council on the project at their March 19th meeting. The commission did decide, however, that they will set a date for a workshop with the Amador County Transportation Commission and its Executive Director Charles Field. You may remember that the Transportation Commission recommended against this project in the Environmental Impact Review Process citing concerns over the level of service on local roadways which are already considered overly impacted with few solutions in sight. The Planning Commission wants to recommend Field’s comments and recommendations. Also, once the workshop is conducted the Planning commission will once again set a special meeting to once again consider a recommendation to the city council. Karly will bring you more on this issue.
