My rant for 7-26-2013

I'm sure this will get City Hall in an uproar. This just burns my hide!!

The Commerce EDC is asking for a variance at a special city council meeting to allow for the EDC to install a septic system inside the city limits because existing service is not at the property. Now when asked for a similar variance for Outdoor Adventure at the U it was denied and even more specifically current EDC Board member Jenna Hill spoke out against allowing it, saying a precedent would be set. Her husband Richard Hill voted against it.

Commerce City Code in section 94-27 "Upon request of the owner or his agent of a lot or tract of land accompanied by the payment of the pro rata and tap charges, the city may extend, lay or construct all necessary water and/or sanitary sewer mains, including all appurtenances thereto, the distance to and across the frontage of the lot or tract of land for which service has been requested."

Now I know the council will pass this. But this is bs in more ways than one! You denied a similar request to the University and the EDC has $1.5 million dollars in the bank and those funds are to be used for infrastructure improvements. Hello!! How is this not considered an infrastructure improvement.

I'm sure at the City Council meetings there will be grandiose comments about how this needs to be done and how important it is to the community as a whole. Frankly, I plan on staying home so I don't have to listen to the crap.
