While the Manhattan Urban Are Planning board had a full agenda Monday night, it was an off-agenda item that might have been the most interesting. One of the members brought a resolution of support for public transportation, and the group voted in favor of the resolution, by a vote of 4-2-1, with one abstention. The item wasn’t on the original agenda.
Final plats for Grand Mere Village received the blessing of the Manhattan urban area planning board Monday night, as items on the group’s consent agenda. Board members also had a public hearing to consider amendments to the Riley County zoning and subdivision regulations and a public hearing for rezoning of a tract of land near South Manhattan Avenue and Collins lane to general agricultural. Those matters were also approved.
