I am one that brought up the Hoskins House. I think the rehab is wonderful and am sure that Yost and Little are good neighbors---however,,, you knew there was a however! When the rezoning was open to the public, I was pres. of Summerfield/Laughlin PTSA. I spoke about the concern of additional cars/driving etc right across the street from our children's play area. Now, here is what bothers me.. the then owner stood up and sayed he was redoing Hoskins for his family business and there would be 3-4 cars per day only! Just his family, himself, his wife and his son. Not bad I thought, a win-win solution, bring that wonderful house back to it's glory, have a small family business and no huge impact on our road or safety to our children.
Once the rezoning was done, the owner decided to sell or rent (I don't know the particulars) to Yost and Little. Now we have traffic constantly, in and out of the area. So far safely, thank God.
My main point is that rezoning has to been done on merit, not the present owners word, as once rezoning is done plans often change. Summerfield will continue to grow and change, I just want my elected officials to think about future options and what might happen, not what the owner hopes to do.

Unforutunately when something is rezoned everything allowed in that zoning can happen. A rezoning is nothing in the world but allowing some one to come in and develop the land and create a business within that zoning.
The Town can only develop reasonable ordinances but can't dictate anything else if the business is operated with in the ordinance.
I think the other issue to keep in mind is the Hoskin house was in extemely bad shape. I think Yost and Little is one of the lesser evils, the worst being the house had been bulldozed down.

I don't disagree with you at all, my concern is that the council make these decisions (and for the most part I think they do) keeping in mind that the rezoning gives people the opportunity to put anything within that zoning restrictions.

Given recent events, perhaps Summerfield needs to place some new signs at strategic points along highways entering into the community with the following inscription:

| The SOS website is so far behind and incorrect in many ways. The postings for the prior year will always be off or behind due to it not being updated instantly with changes. My company changed officers recently and my update was denied due to not informing the SOS in writing of the changes. After being under the microscope during a Town Council meeting this was brought to my attention. What difference does it make to BS I don't know. Trying to make people look less creditable maybe? It reminds me of the insecure girl in school who would surround herself with ugly girls to make herself look better. Food for thought.

Speakin' o' BS an' less credible, I'd still like to know why Strickland, who was so opposed to the ballfield property on 220 that she would never let her kids play ball there, now is suddenly willing to let our kids play there if she can get a environmental study to say it's good enough.
The interestin' thang here is timin'. Another property that come up fer discussion at the exact moment of her epiphanic embrace o' the 220 property was the Friddle property, coincidentally located very near the Strickland property. Could the timin' o' her inexplicable aboutface have anythang to do with personal reasons? Surely she wouldn't be tryin' to abuse her power would she?
Mebbe we cain't see the forest fer the trees, but I reckon we'll be able to see what kind o' critters is swingin' through them trees if we keep watchin'. Hee hee!

I've heard that rumor too Isabella, but if you check out the Board of Election website, that info isn't listed on any of their candidate reports......
hmmmmmmmmmm

I don't think it's wise to say so on here. At least until the truth/proof comes forth.
