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.

The Mans Drinking Cup Is Bigger Than His Head!

At yesterday's Planning & Zoning Meeting I watched this Chucklehead pick up a mug like I have never seen before and start slamming down gulp after gulp of whatever was in this 1/2 keg of liquid.

Now I could see if the guy was 700 lbs and couldn't get out of bed. Yeah, bring him a mug like this one. However, I'll assure you this guy drives down the road with this thing and as you can clearly see, he can't see didly!

So should we contact the manufacturer and demand they put rear view and side mirrors on these things as they are clearly a hazard to any conditions?

Maybe if the manufacturer was smart they'd do one of those infomercial deals where they sell the mug for $19.95 but offer the pee cup that would accompany this mug for free? "Never stop working. Simply slam your favorite beverage and pee right into the free cup every 5 minutes and your employer can't terminate you for taking too many breaks."

Randy Taylor Leaves Another Mess

There are violations everywhere you look on the Randy Taylor property and absolutely nothing gets done about it. Don't EVER think for a second there isn't such a thing as a FOB!

Uh, Oh, They're Back!

It doesn't look like the City cares any more and the Gangs are winning the battle!

This photo was taken yesterday on the Plaza where they're testing to see just how tough the Police and City Administrators truly are.

Way to go once again Barrie!

The Salisbury Kennel Club Is One Step Closer To Relocating To Winter Place Park

The Planning & Zoning Commission approved the Salisbury Kennel Clubs drafts and plans for their almost 10,000 sq. ft. building now being put out for bid.

The new location will be a training facility only as well as a place to hold seminars. There will not be a single animal held their overnight and all pet owners will accompany their pets the entire time they are there.

Barbara Bounds, President of the Salisbury Kennel Club explained how they hoped to start building in February. They are looking for donations should you be interested in supporting this group.

The Planning & Zoning Commission asked that they use a black vinyl coated chain link fence along Rt. 50 where the property will back up to but other than that the project is a go.

Your City Tax Dollars Hard At Work

It takes at least four City Employees to close off the Downtown Plaza, water plants, hold up rakes and shovels, fold their arms, lean back and hold conversations.

Just above the 10 MPH Sign it says, "No Thru Trucks." Dee, Dee, Deeee! What's that white thing the Public Works is driving through there Barrie? Maybe that's why the Officer was there. Did he give them a ticket?

Signs Are Still Everywhere

My hat is tipped to Mr. Mike Lewis who has taken the removal of signs VERY seriously.

Look around Folks, you won't see a Mike Lewis Sign anywhere because he's been out doing the right thing and removing his own signs without the property owner doing it themselves.

If you drive inside the City there are campaign signs all over the windows, even in the Cannon Building. I wonder what Idiot owns this building? I took this picture yesterday.
