Name Spelled Wrong

Chronicle Staff — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:38:06 +0000

In an article about a meeting of the Ann Arbor medical marijuana licensing board, we misspelled the name of the president of OM of Medicine throughout the article. The correct spelling is: Mark Passerini. We acknowledge the mistake here and have corrected the original article.

City Council Approval Not Required

Chronicle Staff — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 18:49:37 +0000

An article about the Dec. 20, 2011 Ann Arbor planning commission meeting incorrectly stated that the site plan approval for Traver Village would be forwarded to city council for consideration. The site plan, which was unanimously approved by planning commissioners, does not require city council action. We note the error here, and have corrected the original article.

No Wetland Mitigation at Ruthven Nature Area

Chronicle Staff — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:34:01 +0000

A report on the Nov. 15, 2011 meeting on the Ann Arbor park advisory commission incorrectly described a sediment removal project at Ruthven Nature Area as wetland mitigation. No wetland mitigation is required there. We note the error here, and have corrected the original article.

DDA Board Member Name Misspelled

Chronicle Staff — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 18:16:34 +0000

In the meeting reports for the first three Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority board meetings since his appointment, The Chronicle has consistently misspelled the name of the newest DDA board member in the record of attendance. The correct spelling is Nader Nassif. We acknowledge the mistake here and have corrected the spelling in the meeting reports.

Attorney Misidentified

Chronicle Staff — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 02:05:51 +0000

In a city council meeting report from Oct. 17, 2011, we misidentified Scott Munzel, thus allowing an inaccurate inference to be made. Munzel is an attorney who represented the former owner of properties on South Fifth Avenue where the City Place and Heritage Row projects were proposed to be built. We acknowledge the mistake here and have corrected the original article.

Humane Society Name Incorrect

Chronicle Staff — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 22:02:40 +0000

In an article about the Sept. 21, 2011 meeting of the Washtenaw County board of commissioners, the name of the Humane Society of Huron Valley was incorrectly stated. We note the error here, and have corrected the original article.

Treecity Employee Misidentified

Chronicle Staff — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 16:04:57 +0000

In a report on the city planning commission, as well as subsequent reporting, we misidentified Dori Edwards. She is an employee who does public relations work for Treecity Health Collective. We acknowledge the mistake and have corrected the error in the original article and subsequent reporting.

Golden Avenue Rezoning Misstated

Chronicle Staff — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 13:39:13 +0000

An article published on June 30, 2011 about recommendations from an R4c/R2a zoning advisory committee incorrectly stated that Golden Avenue was rezoned in 2008 to R2A. That section of Lower Burns Park was downzoned to R1D (single-family residential). We note the error here, and have corrected the original article.

Pension Ordinance Changes Not Substantive

Chronicle Staff — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 18:41:44 +0000

In a brief filed from the June 20, 2011 Ann Arbor city council meeting, The Chronicle mis-characterized the nature of the initial approval given to changes to the city’s pension ordinance. While the city is contemplating the changes described in the brief, those that were actually given initial approval at the council’s meeting involved technical revisions. For example, the phrase “three years” was revised to read “36 consecutive months.”

The Chronicle acknowledges the mistake and has corrected the original brief.

Resident’s Name Spelled Incorrectly

Chronicle Staff — Sat, 21 May 2011 14:54:57 +0000

In a May 13, 2011 article about the Washtenaw County apportionment commission’s redistricting decision, we incorrectly spelled the name of Eric Scheie, who spoke during public commentary. We note the error here, and have corrected the original article.
