We, along with the adjacent neighborhood, our children’s school and other families from the school attended the city planning commission meeting today. We own a property two lots down from our children’s school and the property between ours and the school had filed for R-4 to R-10 rezoning.
There are lots of details in why this would be beneficial for their property, why it makes no sense to some of us looking at it and why it might be highly attractive to a developer looking to acquire the parcel of land. Regardless of your personal opinion, today was the day to make a stance, state your support or opposition to the rezoning request and see what the planning commission would recommend to the city council.
We had, as an entire neighborhood, school and adjacent property, five minutes to rebut. We made it in time. The council voted to suggest all parties work together to come to an agreement on conditions that would make rezoning tenable to all parties. For today, this was a good vote for us.
The Big Boy Update: My son was eating his snack this afternoon and loudly complained, “when are we going to get a new dog?” My husband and I were worried he was sad because he missed our old dog, Lucy. He cleared the air shortly by following up with, “cause then we don’t have to sweep the crumbs up.”
The Tiny Girl Chronicles: My daughter found the mud today. All of it. And most of what she found got on her feet, hands and clothes. But she listened to us, waited on the front porch for a bucket, soap and cloth and then got naked before coming in. I’d say that was the end of the story, but she went back out a second time, got muddy again and needed to lather, rinse and repeat at the front door before getting ready for bed. But she had fun…oh so much fun.
