Why is Commissioner Gosa in such a rush to change land use plan?

Letters from Our Readers

[Fayette County] Commissioner [Harold] Bost asked a very

good question: Why is there such a rush to review Fayette's land use plan?

I've heard politicians say it needs to be updated. Well, using

the word updated means changed, right!?! And that's exactly what's

been going on for over a year now.

Every time a rezoning is granted, you change the land use plan.

I think the land use plan has been updated a few times too

many, actually.

Commissioner [Glen] Gosa, what's your big hurry? Could it

be because the controlling three will not be together much longer? Is

this a last-ditch effort to grant rezoning to certain developer friends (of

a certain three) without them having to present a petition at a

public hearing?

And why, Mr. Gosa, are you so urgently interested in getting

zoning changes for the Lake Horton area? What's in it for you? Lake

Horton is just right the way it is.

I also object to Mr. Gosa appointing Mike Lorber to the

committee to review the land use plan. He has been before the

commissioners more than once seeking rezoning. Putting him on the committee is

like putting a kid in a candy store and saying, "Go for it!"

One last comment for certain current commissioners. On July 21

the people of Fayette County sent a very clear message about the

direction this county has been heading. Two commissioners have been

indisputably voted out. Terminated. Fired.

I don't think this board, at this time, should make any

long-range decisions. Let the new Board of Commissioners present their

ideas come January.
