Sassafras Passes Planning & Zoning Without An Annexation Once Again!



Lynn Cathcart said it better than anyone else there. "Why are we doing this?" Why are we meeting on all of this if it means nothing at all until the City annexes the property?

I'll tell you why Lynn. Because there's no doubt the City will illegally annex the property and why waste time. The sooner everyone else approves something that is illegal, the sooner the City can say, well Planning & Zoning said it was OK so it must be legal.

What I found most interesting in this meeting was the mention of 80 Senior Housing Units. They're still pushing this issue when the State has already told them they no longer qualify for Grant money. I guess it just sounds good?

The developers even admitted yesterday that the Sassafras project was all for seniors but that was brought up, then dropped, brought up again and then dropped again. Look you Idiot, the State isn't stupid, the City and County are. The project was a scam from the beginning and it remains one still today.

Go back to the original agreements for this property or simply shut it down. The builders did say they will not file permits to start any new projects there until it is annexed.
