Drainage right-of-way fence dispute on Hamberlin Avenue
The city is running a canal maintenance program and found 11 fences encroaching into its drainage right-of-way; nine homeowners complied, but one is contesting the city's survey. His refusal is holding up the public works project.
Verano South Pod G commercial uses expansion
An 8-acre corner in the Verano development will shift to General Commercial, allowing restaurants with drive-throughs and retail serving the growing community.
