Unless, of course, you are in the minority who wants freedom to develop your land. In that case, the greater good, as determined by the democratic party in the Town of Boone, should prevail.
My grandma always said your rights end where my nose begins. If developing your land won't let your house slide down on top of mine or flood it (like that business below the Cottages....built because the county has no protections for neighboring property owners) or cause my kid to die from an asthma attack, I'm all for whatever you want to do. I have neighbors whose yard looks like an old car cemetery...doesn't both me a bit. But the guy who puts his septic field right above my well...that should be illegal.
You failed to post my last comment, so I doubt you'll post this one either. Learn from history. The houses that slid were approved by the town of boone. You have no problem alienating and belittling minorities(landowners) who don't agree with your groupthink. But, you champion constitional rights if they are popular with your group. Integrity, right there.
"Learn from history. The houses that slid were approved by the town of boone."
And after that happened, the town started studying steep slope regulations. I'd say that is the very definition of "learning from history," wouldn't you?
Come on, Anon. Even YOU have your threshold regarding regulations. Would you be OK with it if I built my house next to yours, and instead of installing a septic tank, I just ran a pipe out of my house and pointed it toward your property?? What if I decided to open a gay strip club next door to your church? Or maybe a heavy industrial facility with large trucks going in and out all day and night?
