News: Lowe's pursues to build on wetlands in Florida and looses

Here is somewhat of a similar case with Lowe's wanting to construct on wetlands near important watershed area (as we have here surrounding Spring Pond Reservoir).

 In Florida, the zoning of an area was amended to permit Lowe's (just like here in Salem) to build on wetlands near the outskirts of important waterways.  Earlier this year, the multi year battle ended with Lowe's loosing the case, after the company tried to appeal the restrictions in court.

Lynn adds complaints to lawsuit against Lowe's
by Chris Stevens
link:  itemlive.com/articles/2011/05/14/news/news08.txt

The City of Lynn has added 3 complaints to the original lawsuit filed against the City of Salem's Planning Board, the City of Salem, and the Kennedy Development Group.  The additional complaints are:

• The City of Salem is swapping 4± acres of public land without proper procedure.  (The land is proposed to be part of the retail development.  For map see here.)
• The City of Salem had a prior agreement with the Kennedy Development Group, prior to the rezoning procedure.
• It is believed Camp Lion was left by a charitable trust for the benefit of the public.  (Check out lynnlions.blogspot.com...  I want to know- who is Elizabeth Trumbull?)
