I have a rezone proposal for the Isthmus and I am going to share it here. I hope that my proposal gets a $50,000 investment from the City, because it's worthy - and that's for sure. Here's my proposal, and I am re-telling this from someone who testified at Tuesday's meeting: Change the building zoning heights on the Isthmus to 10 feet. Yes, that's right. No new structures to be built on the Isthmus over ten feet. I want to see the results of a $50,000 investment in that proposal. Ten feet building height limit: now that's what I call vision for the Isthmus. What do you think? (disclaimer: of course I would rather see the development of a public park.)

What is wrong with this picture
Submitted by Bert on Thu, 09/18/2008 - 4:22pm.City Council Members who received support from Tri Vo, Triway Enterprises or any other associated interests ought to recuse themselves from this decision. (Mah, Strub, anyone else?)
Triway Enterprises should reimburse the city and taxpayers of Olympia for the $50,000 taxpayer funded study of the proposed rezone.
Changes to zoning regulations must be led by public process and public interest - not private interest.
This is not a public interest project. It is venture capitalism for private profit.
People don't want to repeat the mistake on the lake.
