Meeting on proposed warehouse in Newtown moved to larger venue

The Newtown Planning and Zoning Commission is holding their meeting tonight at Edmond Town Hall.  This is due to the expected large attendance over a controversial plan for a warehouse at 10 Hawleyville Road.  The public hearing is at 7pm. 

A number of protest rallies have been held against the application by New York-based Wharton Equity Partners for a more than 330,000 square foot warehouse on 104 acres in the industrial zone.  The property near exit 9 off I-84 and Mt Pleasant Road is near several residential neighborhoods. 

More than 200 people attended the first hearing, on April 7th. 

The focus tonight could be on a third party review of traffic studies.  Rally organizers say the project could potentially have 200 tractor trailers per day going in and out 24/7, 365.  Attorneys for the applicant previously said landscaping will maintain as much vegetation as possible.
