Medical marijuana dispensary on Alexander Planning Commission agenda

The Alexander Planning Commission will hear a request from Dr. James Adametz who wants to establish a medical marijuana dispensary in Alexander. The location he has chosen is the corner of Alexander Road and Highway 5, where a funeral home once operated.

The proposal will be made during a special meeting that was already scheduled for Tuesday, August 27 at 6:30 PM. The meeting will be held in the courtroom at city hall. The public is invited to attend.

The original purpose for the special meeting was to make up for a regular meeting that had to be canceled due to the lack of a quorum. Besides the additional request to establish a medical marijuana dispensary, the agenda also includes one more discussion concerning an ordinance that will establish fees cited in the new Subdivision Rules and Regulations ordinance and the new Zoning Ordinance passed earlier this summer. The city attorney has given her approval on the language of the ordinance and now the planning commission members must vote to send it to the city council for final approval.
