Comp Plan

Well, I hear a few people moaning about Commissioner Jennings putting a barb into our Comp Plan and slowing down the process...blaming her for the fact that we are in non-compliance, etc. Well, we hear you and do not agree. The DCA has said that it is more important to "get it right" now then to make changes later. We applaud Commissioner Jennings for watching out for what the people wanted in the Master Plan.

Was anyone in the Chamber the night Mayor Drautz , when asking about heights in the Master Plan, asked how it got from a maximum of 3 stories to 10 stories. "Who put the 10 stories in here?" he asked. He never got an answer. Sharon Jackson was P&Z Director at that time.

Realizing that there are a few P&Z members and a few of their friends who are very upset right now regarding our Comprehensive Plan and the fact that it was not approved “as is,” I want to assure you that there are plenty of other problems, not just height changes:

The City’s responses to the DCA, relating to the adoption of the City’s Water Supply Plan, was REJECTED by the DCA. I don't suppose you would want to blame Jennings for that one, would you?

Also, the City has NOT even sent up its CIP to the DCA. Is that also Jennings fault?

More to follow later.
