Vintage being rushed to Board
Nov. 14, 2016: Regarding the Vintage project being scheduled for the Board of Supervisors meeting on December 1st without any notices sent out as of yet:
As three times before, this is project being rushed prematurely. There is no reason why this project should be on the agenda a week after Thanksgiving, with the deadline for comments just as a week from TODAY, or only THREE days before Thanksgiving.
For this meeting the BOS and the public will have a FOURTH version of the PUD to consider, assuming the developer had implemented all the changes that the PC staff had demanded to gain the PC's recommendation. This means that neither the BOS nor the public has any idea precisely what they are supposed to be voting on -- the last PUD package was over 1100 pages -- and at this point I dare say neither does the PC staff.
Has the fourth version been posted yet? I can't find it on the PC or the BOS agenda or meetings pages. I know, they'll post it ON Thanksgiving Day, fulfilling the legal requirement to post the agenda and supporting materials a week before the meeting.
Do you think there is something very wrong with a project that has to rely on cheap parliamentary tricks to get passed? How is it in the spirit of governing FOR the people, when they so obviously do everything to deny the people an opportunity to come to the meeting WELL INFORMED, and offer well informed opinions based on the full and complete facts of the application? We do NOT have an application, just a series of incrementally changed but still very unspecific ideas for a project.
