MONROE - At a meeting Tuesday, the City of Monroe Common Council:
• Held a public hearing and passed an ordinance repealing and recreating Section 2-2-2 of the Monroe City Code: Meeting of the Board of Review. The wording more closely reflects that of state statue 70.47, allowing the Board of Review to grant a property owner a 60-day extension for a hearing related to an objection. The owner must submit with the objection a request to the board for the extension and payment of a fee in the amount specified in state statue section 70.47 (7)(c). (That cost is currently $100.) The extension may be further extended if owner shows good cause.
• Held a public hearing and passed an ordinance creating Chapter 8 of Title 8 of the Monroe City Code: Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination. The chapter applies to all water entering the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems.
• Held a public hearing and passed an ordinance rezoning property No. 134, located on 21st Street, to be rezoned form M-1 (light industrial) to R-2 (medium density residential).
