The Fun Starts
According to reoprts in the JI this morning, Susan Kniep is starting a petition drive. Sound familiar? This project is in effort to present TPZ with residents signatures opposing the removal of the special permitting process for adult oriented businesses in East Hartford.
Did anyone listen to the Attorney who spoke at Thursday’s public hearing? I thought it was made very clear. As I understand it, if you have a zone aproved for adult oriented entertainment, it is a violation to have a special permitting process in addition to that zoning regulation. The way it is written now, all of the regulations could be thrown out in Federal Court due to Constitutional Law and that would open the whole, complete Town to adult oriented businesses. With that being said, doesn’t anyone see the risk?
Anyway, if you are so inclined to sign the petition, you may do so on Tuesday Aug 5, 4-8pm and Monday Aug 11, 3-5om in the second floor conference room at Town Hall.
By the way, I will not be signing this petition as I feel it is absurd. I am not a proponent or supporter of this type of business. What a hole this Town has gotten itself into and will be very costly to dig out of.
