It is the local homeowners who will have to live with the result of the permitting process, not the planner and not the builder.Zonemavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853753467348220533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944244558806877209.post-48042348267497889262009-08-04T00:54:47.740-07:002009-08-04T00:54:47.740-07:00Planning permission is always a difficult area.

And in the Lettered Streets that only applies to Non-conforming uses grandfathered in during rezones. Good on ya Dawn!

Maybe we should pass the collection plate and send them back to school. This is only one battle in the bigger war to save the historically valuable parts of our town which the city at times seems to be hell-bent in destroying. This isn't Venice or Rome of course, but the whole town does not have to look like a fever dream from the architectually challenged. Those are nice lots (on E. Illinois), and a nice home or homes could be built there which would net the owner a handsome profit, and still be in keeping with neighborhood character and zoning ordinances.mrostronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05053076004480540472noreply@blogger.com
