308 PINE AVENUE - P & Z TONIGHT

Yet again PAR are attempting to get site plan approval on their lots at 308 Pine Avenue. Their latest plans will be presented at the P & Z meeting at 6.30 tonight (Tuesday 14th September).

Expect more of the same, a posse of lawyers arguing on their behalf, an engineer, their planner Alan Garrett (yes I did say their planner) accompanied by Bob Welch, a stenographer and maybe even a videographer thrown in although less likely tonight as its P & Z and they only show up with a videographer to apply pressure to Commissioner Stoltzfus.

Expect the same result too. With the Mayor having stacked the deck on P & Z with PAR supporters (with the obvious exception of Tom Turner and Margaret Jenkins who have my upmost respect for even going through this charade), we already know it will be given the thumbs up whatever the plans show, be they to code or not.

Final site plan is due to go before the Commission on Thursday 23rd September at 6pm. Interestingly, should Gene Aubry be on the Commission at that time, he has already publicly declared that he will abstain from voting on anything that concerns PAR.

If that is the case then perhaps someone can take down the Gene Aubry public parking plan which still resides on the wall in City Hall. It was decided some weeks ago that this plan was not going ahead in any way, shape or form so why is it still on the wall? And yes we all know that PAR will likely do all they can to make sure it is resurrected. And the same old voices are bleeting every week in the paper, namely the Donovan's, who for anyone who doesn't know, just happen to be a close relative of Mike Coleman, that we absolutely must put the public parking plan in place. It's getting old, it really is.
