Commission asks village to investigate 27A Mile Road over wetlands and access concerns
Summary
Member Bill Ellsworth moved and the commission unanimously approved a request that the village investigate 27A Mile Road after Ellsworth said the parcel is largely wetlands, has no street access and lies behind his property; he suggested the village consider purchasing it to protect sensitive wetlands.
Member Bill Ellsworth told the Montebello Historic Preservation and Parks Commission on Feb. 5 that a prospective buyer had asked how to access the parcel known as 27A Mile Road, which Ellsworth said lies behind his property, is composed mostly of wetlands and lacks street access.
Ellsworth suggested the village might consider purchasing the parcel to protect sensitive wetlands. He moved that the commission request the village look into the matter; Member Rosemary Mocio seconded the motion, and the commission voted unanimously in favor.
The motion directs staff or the village government to investigate the property's status and options; no specific purchase funds or timelines were discussed at the meeting.
