Alderman Bobby Stout needs to put down the pipe. Patsy Christy spent fifteen minutes explaining all changes to the Land Use Plan. When she is finished Stout wakes up and says, "Now what all changed?" Seriously.
The Planning Commission recommended they review the area around Wagon Wheel, Silent Grove and Apple Blossom again in two years and hopefully they would have more information about the 412 northern bypass at that time.
Perry Webb took to the podium claiming that companies have been contacting him like crazy. BIG companies with billions...repeat (Webb does) BILLIONS of dollars in potential projects. These mystery big spenders are just begging for this spot of land despite the fact that it will not have an exit for interstate access, does not have city sewer and the Planning Commission has twice recommended to the city NOT to change the land use for this area.
Resident David Gilbert said, "We've heard Mr. Webb tell us about business, business, business...well, we live there."
Springdale Attorney Jeff Slaton who lives in the area that would be affected said it is highly unlikely the northern 412 bypass will be built within the next nine years. Slaton, like others was asking the council to wait and see what develops with the bypass.
Slaton also invited Webb to share the information he has with us about who wants to build there. We will anxiously await his reply.
I've heard the whispers that if the property owners last name were something different, this would not be an issue.
What else do you expect from Springdale’s City Council's special interest spot zoning. Each and every one of us could wake up with a pig farm in our back yard tomorrow. Cities have Planning Commissions in place for a reason and this is to ensure this city moves forward with some degree intelligence. It’s the good ole boy council. To hell with the future of Springdale. And we wonder why we have no new business. The word is out…. Walton Arts Center are you kidding me? What do we have to offer? More of Webb’s lies. Billions my butt.
ReplyDeletePerry is the consummate salesman. Always something big coming down the pike. The next deal is gonna give us Jesus's golden streets early.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it takes awhile before the electorate awakens to discover what their city could be rather than foot-servants to a handful of elites.
When the city council arrangement is changed so that a council person can only be elected by electors in their precinct then things will change. Having what amounts to nothing but at-large councilmen serves only the few and always will.

Springdale’s Welcome signs should read Buyers Beware! The only bill of assurance that Springdale offers is…. grab your ankles. Our council tries harder to ensure the quality of life for our neighbors to the N S E and W. The planning commission is composed of intelligent individuals who unanimously turned this project down twice and for good reason! This buddy zoning negatively effects the entire city and is why we get called the armpit of NWA. The Mayor added prayer to meetings so we will think God led them to the decision to screw the city! God helps people who help themselves. Let's vote these morons out the door! Let them make their own house payments!
