DON'T DUMP ON US ANYMORE

NEW ALBANY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS--NOVEMBER 14, 2006 AT 7:00PM
FOURTH FLOOR, CITY COUNTY BUILDING

DOCKET B-66-06 : Dennis L Andres requests a Special Exception to permit placement of fill in the floodplain on a 3 acre tract +/-, in an Open Space (floodplain) and R-1, Suburban Residential district at 1615 Corydon Pike.

Nearby residents report that dumping has alteady started.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH WOULD LIKE TO KNOW:

1. Why is the owner already dumping before approval or proper permits are issued?

2. Has anyone told the Board of Zoning Appeals members that New Albany is paying an engineering firm to enforce a state mandated Stormwater Plan?

3. Has anyone told the Board of Zoning Appeals members that New Albany has a new Stormwater Board?

4. Has anyone told the Board of Zoning Appeals members that we are now forced to pay a $3.15 monthly fee to enforce or institute the new state mandated Stormwater Plan?

5. Why would the Board of Zoning Appeals approve this request to dump or fill in a flood plain that could cause us more flooding problems?

We think the members of the Board of Zoning and Appeals and the Stormwater Board need to work together on this issue. What we don't need are several boards working against each other which is apparently the situation here.
