1999: Sheridan Meadows apartments proposed

Oct. 13, 1999: Plans for a controversial apartment complex near Sheridan Meadows would move ahead after the developer withdrew plans for a rezoning of the property, which was already zoned for multi-residential. For now, according to Eldridge economic development director Dick Kvatch, the developer planned to begin grading the land and would request a building permit for an initial 88 units. Opponents of the project said they wanted the city council to control Eldridge’s growth.
