The Week of October 25th - 29th, 2021 in the City of Waxahachie!

Hello Friends!
 
    There is a lot going on in Hachie right now, so let's get started!  First of all, this is the weekend of the Country Reporter Festival downtown. This year, with construction going on in and around the downtown area, the city has created interactive maps to help residents and visitors navigate to the festival easier. These maps include the best access points, a general festival map, and public parking areas. To view the maps and best routes, click the link below.
   
    Also, on Friday, October 29th at 9am please join us for a groundbreaking ceremony for the Wags-A-Hachie Dog Park! The dog park will undergo a complete renovation, adding new agility/play equipment, shaded picnic areas, new improved fencing, ADA sidewalk connections to the hike and bike trail, new trash receptacles, benches and picnic tables, concrete parking lot with lighting, and an art mural. FYI - the Wags-a-Hachie Dog Park will be closed starting Friday, October 22 and remain closed for renovations and improvements until approximately January 2022.  It should be really great for our furry residents once it has been completed!

    In case any meetings are added after this newsletter goes out, please refer to the city's calendar: https://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php

**** 5:30 PM - Planning & Zoning Commission Work Session****
Council Conference Room, City Hall
401 S. Rogers St.


This work session is being held to discuss the proposed Wynne Jackson Industrial Complex, which comprises 575.97 acres near Settler's Glen subdivision. This is related to zoning case ZDC-155-2021.  You can see the proposed concept plan in the agenda packet link above, but I do not have any more information beyond that.  The work session will most likely be a presentation of this case and will be the first time that the P&Z Commission or I will have heard the details of the case.  The work session is a public meeting and you are welcome to attend, but there will not be any public comments taken at that time.  I do highly recommend those interested in this case to come hear the presentation, just please be aware that you will not have the opportunity to speak at this meeting.

The applicant for that case has also requested a continuance from the scheduled 10/26/21 P&Z meeting to be placed on the 11/09/21 P&Z meeting agenda.  That means that the commission does not plan to hear any testimony regarding the development at the Tuesday, 10/26 -  7:00 PM meeting.

I will keep you apprised of any changes that I know of and when this case is set to be on the P&Z agenda.

7:00 PM - Planning & Zoning Commission Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall
