Is Springfield Ready for a Car Wash?

Tonic actually Stephen tonic

Sheclown I have seen you on this web profess your love of Jesus.  Is this what faith teaches? namecall namecall namecall.  Is there a beatitude to fit this action.  This kind of belies the teachings of Christ.  Surely opposition to any matter could be done without this.

I was very happy with the outcome of the meeting, Silas Jones and his brains got the go ahead with his carwash and the community was protected.

I am now thinking of donating money to the neighbors who are protesting,  they do have the right, unless "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose"

Good point.

I constantly fall short of God's glory.

What was that old adage about don't throw rocks when you live in a house of glass?

Damn...that looks gooooooooooooood...

The public hearing for the appeal of the zoning exception for the car wash has been schedlued.  This is the appeal that SPAR Council is "not" behind...and yet they are.

If you truly believe that the Springfield Commercial corridor is important and that we need a variety of uses rather than only the higher end uses SPAR Council and their supporters wish for and know we need new businesses now, please make every attempt at attending this meeting and speak on behalf of Mr. Silas and this car wash.  SPAR Council and it's supporters failed to stop the passing of the exception originally and they need to be shown that the community of Springfield does indeed support the real overlay, new businesses of all types and that the original decision should stand. 

Resolution 2010-167: A resolution concerning the appeal of a final order issued by the planning commission regarding zoning exception E-09-54 to 1424 Main Street, LLC, regarding a car washer on property located at 25 W. 4th St. and a portion of 1424 Main St.; adopting recommended findings and conclusions of the land use and zoning committee. A public hearing concerning this legislation had been scheduled for Tuesday, April 6, 2010 at 5:00 p.m. in City Council Chambers, 1st Floor of City Hall, 117 W. Duval St. Please note that appeals are typically taken up at the end of the Land Use and Zoning Committee Meeting. All persons wishing to speak to this legislation should appear at the meeting.

I wonder if there will be another live blog of this event?  I'll be in New Orleans that week.

[sheclown]

That live blog was THE BEST

There most certainly will.

As must as it pains me to say it, I liked the last one Stephen.  Always the wordsmith.

Why be rude? The guy takes the time to go do a live blog for everybody, surely we can be nicer than that?

You are asking me, why be rude? LOL, pretty funny.  There are bigger offenders on here, go bug them.

[sheclown]

do these people live within the 350 foot range?

[Dan B]

at least three of them do.

[ChriswUfGator]

I am not even sure what 350' has to do with it, as decibel levels were taken by an audio engineer with the equipment running, and with the equipment off, and the noise really doesn't even make it off the property line, let alone 350' off it.



The only people who would possibly be bothered by it would be the people on that segment of street, and only then because of increased traffic. And to my knowledge, they all support the project and declined to participate in the appeal.

I'm afraid this car wash issue is going to be the final nail for this neighborhood and any hopes for reconnecting unless we can do something to prevent any further diversion.

Let's hope this issue is important enough to warrant the cost.
