Isn’t Signal vote now unnecessary?
The Town of Signal Mountain will conduct a citizens input meeting from 4 to 6 p.m. on Oct. 12 before the Town Council meeting. At the Town Council meeting, a vote will be held on the idea of buildings being allowed on 1/4-acre lots. Presently everyone must build on at least 1/2-acre lots.
It is my opinion no one should be allowed to build on 1/4-acre lots. Only a restricted few lots (6) fit the criteria for such building; the vast majority do not. Both the few and the many meet every law/ordinance demanded of them by the town, but only those few would be allowed such privilege. That leaves unequal treatment between Signal Mountain citizens, hence unequal representation.
Further, it is my understanding the original requester for the 1/4-acre permission has withdrawn that request. That begs the question: Why is the council continuing its pursuit of such an exceptional request? Since no one is making a request, would this not invalidate the first council vote on the matter and make any further vote moot? No reason to generate action – no action.”
