Bad Sound System Silences Council Meeting

The Presentations about the building of 35 Condominiums went silent on channel 3 as the sound system failed in the GT Council Chambers.

The Citizens audience had for the most part cleared the room after the heart felt participation regarding the first step toward the use of Eminent Domain to acquire Jo Stringfields Property or Forcing her to change the use of the property if she continues to own it.

This developer was being grilled about what recreational facilities would be in the Green Space. Odd that private developers are being required to do what the city won't do. Perhaps the Developer wants to put in a WALKING Park with no pool, or other recreational activities. Is it the City's Business. If the Development does not attract people to it, they will not buy into the development. Perhaps the savings of not having a pool and the expenses there in will make the housing more affordable or attractive to people who don't know how to swim.

More of concern is the missing of the fact there is a spring on that land, where the "Retaining Wall" will go. The water is not always above ground, but it is there. Those of us who know what to look for or have been here long enough recall that spring. The Rushes that grow in the ravine of that land are there for the water. This has not been included in the Plans, that are being shown to the public for the first time.

Who knows what was said about dealing with this environmental aspect.
