REVERSED AND REMANDED!
The decision was released this morning and can be read here.
4 years. We've known from the beginning that the developer wasn't being upfront and honest. We've watched the City of Eagle Lake look the other way. He could have purchased the property. He could have shown up to meetings to talk with residents. The city council should have decided on an Environmental Impact Statement the FIRST time instead of kicking the can down the road. They could have done what they were ASKED (by residents, by the court). It's not that they wouldn't show potential impacts could be avoided, it's that they COULDN'T show it.
At this point, 80 acres of the 230 acres are no longer available to the developer.
We were never opposed to the project itself, it was WHERE it was proposed.
