RE: Aug. 9, 2007 Architectural Board Meeting
Dear Councilman,
I was at the meeting last night. These men should be ashamed the way a city resident was treated. His name is Richard Palcisko, it is my understanding that he purchased a home that had been vacant for a few years. He applied for a building permit to build a barn. His plans were approved, then he made some changes. Well he was told by one of the board members that he was lowering the property value and neighbors were complaining . In 21 years as a tax payer, I have never seen my property taxes go down when I applied for permits. Then tell him they will allow him to make his changes if he agrees to plant pine trees. How can the board make some one plant trees? Some neighbors are have issues about the barn, (which none of them were at the meeting to address their concerns) or at least no one was asked to step forward if their was a problem with his barn.
Also, their was issues with the Marc’s store, as well as Waldens signs. I didn’t realize that the board had anything to do with permits about signs.
Going to a meeting like this it made me want to walk out and say forget the garage. If I had walked out no extra money for a building permit and my taxes would stay the same. Is this the message that you want potential new residences and city residence to think like? What about companies are estimates going to increase because they have to keep coming back to these meeting with revised plans. You can seen the waste of time for all involved.
All additions, new construction anything to do with a permit means more city tax dollars!!! Property values go up not down. Wake up that board and find out what they are thinking. I encourage you all to listen to the minutes. What an embarrassment to this city.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Dowd Owner
as a student of AHS the levy failing directly affects me, as well as everyone in Aurora. I bet everyone didn’t know that now students can’t participate in clubs, many extracurricular activities including the middle school fall and spring plays. There will be no more AP and IB programs available to better our chances at college. Just the general aspect of high school has been changed for us. In the spring please vote for the levy to pass! thanks
Our annual auction will take place on June 19, beginning at 10 a.m. Handmade quilts, handcrafted wood items, baked goods, chicken BBQ. Books. Come out and make a day of it!
