I agree with all the statements in this post.....we should absolutely eliminate the Planned Development between Community Bank and the Mossberg buildings. Not only do tall, uniform buildings block views of the harbor, but the canyon effect is very real and DARK! Do we want a downtown that is mostly in shadow with uniform heights as the skyline? Why would we want to destroy the very charm and history that attracts visitors and property owners to buy here?
On another note, I have driven around town to identify the number and placement of duplexes in our residential neighborhoods. I would very much encourage the homeowners in the 'uptown' part ( around the IGA and north side of Lake Street ) to get involved with the zoning of duplexes in residential neighborhoods. If you don't show up, write, speak up your voice can not be heard. We are stewards of this special place we call home....everyone, act like it.
