We found the following most curious:
“There were attendees who tried to ask how the whole project got approved before they even received a meeting notice. And, were shocked, I think, to know the final decision on “analogous” use had been made on Jan. 10, 2006, a full five months before the first notices were sent out or published, and nine months before the first open meeting was actually held! When they [attendees] tried to ask questions on how [the project] was approved before they even received notice of the proposed land use, they were quickly told by Mr. Kovitz that that was in the past, and this meeting was not set up to address that issue! Even sadder is that no notice had to be given of the request for "analogous use", so CITIZENS WERE NEVER MEANT TO HAVE A SAY IN THIS MATTER! Can't believe the insanity of this whole "CITY PLANNING PROCESS", and I think we need to PUBLISH this to everyone in Rancho Vistoso.”
Again, we wonder: How can a project like this get approved with absolutely no citizen input? Who do the people in Town Hall think they work for?
