If Howard was completely honest, he would have let you know that r. Marshall did NOT get what he wanted. What he wanted was to change Phase 1 AND Phase 3 from R-2to R-4. R-4 would allow for other dwellings besides single family units. Mayor Anderton asked why he wanted to do that and he immediately recognized that he was probably NOT going to get what he wanted. Therefore, the ordinance which had been written was amended before it was approved at the first reading. What he ALSO failed to mention was this must also come before a public hearing AND he must provide a findinbg a fact. Mr. Marshall, in his request for a zone change, contends that there was a mistake when it was zoned the first time. He MUST provide proof of this. So, I would not agree that the Mayor and Commissioner's are pushovers. This is NOT a done deal as Howard would have you believe. As far as the proposed houses are concerned, I believe Mr. Marshall was given approval to build three houses AND three houses ONLY at this time because it appears Planning and Zoning IS concerned about open space and wants to monitor that closely.
Regarding the signs, Verizon asked for "flutter" signs and they were granted that request to use for 90 days...NINETY days. They were not requesting a permanant ADDITIONAL sign for the building.
Trashy, Delmar, Delaware, huh? Well, if I'd had my druthers, I wouldn't have wanted a massage parlor or a host of payday loan places either. Unfortunately, if their are no restrictions against that type of business, there is really nothing one can do about free enterprise. Now, I suppose you could write more "rules", but I consider that micro-managing. Hell, since I don't like cats, perhaps we should disallow residents from letting their feline friends sit in the windows of their homes.
