Zawarski Hearings-Part 1A

Short comments on this one as there really isn't much to say. The Zawarski people want to shove 3000+ "homes" (single family, duplex, trailer, etc.) in the Farmland Preservation District, which currently allows for approximately 200 homes. Zawarski's attorneys did a brilliant job Monday night of their obvious intentions of wearing out the current residents who, unanamiously oppose this change to the Farmland Preservation District. After many initial blunders, Zawarski is employing a reprensible yet smart strategy of trying to wear us all down. The Zawarski's don't care about us and are just interested in making HUGE profits. This is capitalism at it's best, and worst. Despite the feeling of hoplesness by many, we must continue to fight and never surrender.

Other miscellaneous stuff.

1) Despite what you may have heard, the Zoning change 298 ("Big Box/Grocery") issue isn't dead yet. Yes, as we expected Supervisors Don Miller, David Hoff and David Howell (aka, "3 to 2 get's it through") once again ignored the will of the people and passed the zoning change. This said, the fight isn't over yet. More details to follow soon.

2) Remember when the Board of Supervisors approved the liquor transfer license for the forthcoming bar ("Big Woody's) on Sullivan Trail, even though Supervisor Howell and some residents unearthed some very disturbing facts about this speakeasy's questionable history in their Allentown operations? And remember how Supervisor Hoff told us that there would be further public meetings to discuss things like Big Woody's hours of operation because at the time of the initial hearing they were slated to stay open till 2am? Does anyone find it odd that there is a "now hiring" banner on their front door yet we have heard nothing more about additional meetings? Actually, to be candid, we really don't find it odd ourselves. After all, this is Forks Township; developers, builders and business rule! Residents are just an inconvenient fact.

3) Anyone catch those large yellow Forks Township Community Days signs all over the township? We are wondering if they conform to the sign requirements that everyone else has to follow.
