SYNOPSIS: The house located at 1515 West Main Street has been purchased so a new Waldorf-based educational system, a private school named Rose Rock, can be established on-site. The applicant is requesting a rezoning from R-1, Single Family Dwelling District to a PUD, Planned Unit Development District.

PARKING: On-site parking will be provided. Parking area...
