Proposed land use change?

Public hearing?

If the above is part of our system, how come so many times "the cart comes before the horse?"

The building or land uses are put "to the use" without due process! Sometimes no process occurs because the public is not aware that such proceedings should happen-consequently they are bypassed by the "powers that be."

Churches are a compatible use in residential neighborhoods-following the actions determined from a "public hearing."

How come we have a church meeting Sundays at Glacier High School? A church meeting at a private residence in the same neighborhood?

Maybe the "neighbors" might be concerned with "numbers of people, numbers of vehicles" and the traffic flow that could possibly cause congestion on our immediate neighborhood streets?

Too often we ignore the "proposed land use proposals" - BUT if it's part of our system we should be offered the right to attend public meetings.

Later if we are unhappy with the "new use" it isn't that we are "left in the dark"-we chose not to participate.
