Shenanigans at Harris council
To the editor:
At a recent public hearing a ìdeveloperî was requesting to vacate a street in the platted area. The adjoining landowners were protesting the vacation of the street, as it would adversely affect their property. Mayor Hanson advised the developer a way to proceed which would negate the necessity of his obtaining signatures from adjoining landowners. The hearing was then continued to another date to allow the developer to re-define his request. At the continued public hearing local citizens were not allowed to speak even though the developer had changed his description. The developer was allowed to speak. Why is the city donating city property to a developer? Democracy $$$.
Also, be aware that the council is considering the new Zoning Ordinance. It gets worse. The ìnewî ordinance as presented by our attorney would require that every citizen in Harris that wants to have a small garden would have to go through a conditional use public hearing at a cost of $350 plus per person. There are at least another hundred pages to work through. What will we find?
Please come to the meetings and workshops. Be prepared to be insulted unless you agree with what the attorney is saying. One of our citizens questioned the attorneyís statement. The attorneyís response was, ìAre you deaf?î
