Follow the rules that are in place to protect all of us. Valley Hospital, developers, and tax paying residents!
It’s not East vs. West. When you change H-Zones, Master plans, and variances…you are asking for future problems. Double Valley’s size, allow heights too high for the CDB, etc. You will get higher taxes, due to the need for more services. Traffic is bound to increase and cause problems getting to any side of town.
The answer has always been no to these requests. Why would the current board or council even entertain any of these requests? Your job and elected jobs are to follow the rules and in force them. Stop the nonsense. Logic and reasoning will prevail?
The master plan needs to be changed so that developers cannot ask for ‘spot zoning’ to suit them.
Leave the zoning as is, and make everyone, whether Valley, or an apartment developer have to operate within the current zoning, and get variances approved.
It keeps everything more within reasonable sizes, footprints, etc.
As it currently is, allowing someone to change zoning is a lottery ticket for the speculator who bought the land.
If they don’t the reputation of this being an above average place to live will take a hit it will never recover from.
I keep having the awful feeling that those of us who don’t put our houses on the market very soon will live to regret it.
And that’s how it starts. The problem is that’s how neighborhoods, and eventually towns, go down hill. All you need is a catalyst, and this could certainly be it.
Local Real Estate agents will be busy
The Ghadda Gazette could become a magazine!
For Sale sign on the corner house opposite Valley entrance says it all.
