Residents Debate Mt. Lebanon Fitness Center Plans

An overflow crowd of more than 80 residents attended a hearing last night in Mt. Lebanon where commissioners were presented with the pros and cons of building a fitness center in a residential neighborhood. The hotly debated topic centered around a parcel of land at the intersection of Mt. Lebanon and Castle Shannon boulevards.

The hearing lasted three hours, sandwiched between other commission business. The whole affair went almost 5 1/2 hours and ended just after midnight.

This is a tough call. On the one hand the municipality could sure benefit from the revenues the property could generate. At the same time, if that was happening in my neighborhood I wouldn't be too happy about that property getting rezoned commercial.

Especially true if the proposed use was going to be one thing, and then you cut down all of the trees, create an eye-sore and then decide you want to use it for something else.

I'm guessing there is not currently any interest in developing it as residential?
