It’s always about the architectural styles as far as development is concerned. If I see another inoffensive, suburbia-style development that looks like an outparcel at a local mall, and a clubhouse that looks like the actual mall, I’m gonna lose it. We need a real, substantial overhaul in the single-family architectural department. That’s where the restrictive codes and covenants and other HOA documents need to be changed to allow for new designs, so it isn’t all boring houses with the bare minimum in terms of detail.

Now, here is a site of all the styles that need to have a larger presence in the city:

Well….”Gary K. Hunter, a land use lawyer with Hopping Green & Sams who represents the landowners, says the plan addresses future environmental concerns and meets future needs for traffic, housing, and schools.”

Guess which one of these people on the Blueprint Citizens Advisory Committee also works for Hopping Green & Sams. There are never any conflicts in Tallahassee over elected leaders, their appointees, nonprofits, or developers. Never.

Why is this happening instead of developing our central areas and improving the city as a place people want to live in? We dont need another southwood. WE NEED A ROUNDABOUT AT FIVE POINTS IN MIDTOWN.

OK, This will change the designation of 2,810 acres in the “Welaunee Arch” from rural to planned development and will allow for commercial development and residential density of up to 20 units per acre and you actually think that you can assure that local government will be able to afford to provide needed urban services to ALL THAT? There is no way in hell. You all screwed up big time letting that Development happen.

This is about increasing property tax revenue. I am not in favor of development for that sole purpose. However, I noticed that Debbie Lightsey is against it. That, by itself, may change my mind.
