Steve Brown: Callula Hill makes absolutely no senseFormer Airport Manager Jim Savage hit the nail on the head: the city has always tried (until the last Planning Commission vote) to protect the Falcon Field Airport from residential development. Sadly, I expect Logsdon/Boone/Plunkett to approve the rezoning. There is no reverence for the city's history of strict planning amongst the three. Logsdon is a sure vote in favor because he owes the Pathway principles for the campaign support he received. The future of the airport will be affected by this development. Too bad the Airport Authority allowed themselves to be pressured into silence on the matter. The Pathway Communities tactic of throwing the rezoning on the city council agenda immediately, so as to thwart any organized opposition, is designed to take some of the pressure off of Logsdon/Boone/Plunkett. Many thought the "planning" aspect of our city would erode under Mayor Logsdon and friends, but it is literally imploding before our eyes. The Callula Hill decision has major future implications for the airport and the city. I regret that I am out of town and will not be able to attend the council meeting. This is a pivotal moment in the future of our city, and I can only hope that citizens attend the meeting and voice their concerns. Steve Brown's blog | login to post comments |
