Environmental opposition arises to proposed Wellington development February 10, 2021 at 8:45 AM EST - Updated February 10 at 8:45 AM Once again, Wellington s Planning Zoning and Adjustment Board will hold a discussion on a proposal submitted by a local developer. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at Village Hall. According to the Village Manager Jim Barnes, the developer Brefrank Inc. is seeking to convert two parcels of land, a natural preserve and residential area near the Mall at Wellington Green into commercial mixed use. A similar application submitted last year was approved by the board, but Barnes said Brefrank Inc. decided not to move forward with the plan. The initial approved plan by the board called for converting two natural preserve areas into retail and residential use to build an apartment complex and shopping center. A move that some argue would create severe impacts on wildlife and the environment.
