Thread: Aw CRAP!!!

Sorry man, that is horrible. I work as a Civil Engineer and deal with zoning, permits, etc. all day long. Every city is different, but I've run into similar situations with parking requirements. We just changed our ordinances to allow shared parking (which does what it says). This works especially well if two business have different operating hours (movie theater and dentist office for example.) I'm sure you've looked at every option, but I just thought I'd mention it.

It really bothers me when municipalities negate common sense for regulation (like not counting the parking structure you are next too). Anyway, I thought I'd send you my condolences.

There are not enough bad words in the english language to help me express how this makes me feel...and it's not even happening to me. :evil:

Yet another example of the lack of common sense that many of our governments operate with today....don't get me started! :evil: :evil:

Well, if you are dumping any of those pre's "Free to a good home", I'll take one! I've got nice little home studio where he can run and play. I've also got a few other pre's so he'll never be lonely. My brand new power conditioner will make sure that he's fed well and he'll get plenty of exercise with all the screamers I've been working with lately.

Oh man Jeremy! That is just the worst! Freakin' stupid government idiocy! I can't help but think that something else is rotten in Denmark? Perhaps some stupid government dweeb has their eye on this property and so is making it impossible for you? Can you say corruption? Have you considered any bribes? I've heard sometimes that extra cash that quietly passes between certain hands could make the difference? How can they rectify the jewelry store parking?

Much luck with everything else.

Yeah, it all stinks of something. The sad thing is, the parking issue shouldn't even apply to me. Since I'm a business moving into a place which was previously a business, the lack of parking issue is supposed to be grandfathered.

If you're familiar with historic Fredericksburg (Remy, you may be, Wally Cleaver's is only 1 mile south of that - consequently, my home is only 1 mile south of Wally Cleaver's) - there IS NO PARKING unless you're willing to parallel park on the street. Apparently, there weren't too many cars in the early 1800's when downtown was being built!

Oh well. There's a silver lining there somewhere!

Yes, it has that odor about it. I'm not sure where Wally Cleaver's may be these days since Peter Bonta sold his studio? I do remember his original location was strictly on street parking that was difficult at best.

I'm hoping for the best for you and your family in these financially trying times that probably causes much strain in your relationship.

I hope you find your BIG silver lining soon!

Contact the councilman for that ward IMMEDIATELY.

Fight, fight, fight.

Call local newspaper. Get the story out.

Stupid 1800's!
They always ruin everything!
