Most of us have full time jobs & think the landfill company will lose the case. As more and more info comes out it is obvious the proper steps were not followed. Now do you understand, not all of us are the dumb asses you think we are? You see my man, the only people who do not disagree with you are all eating from the same plate!! - the original northsidian Fri, 18 Nov 2011 14:15:29 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9354-developer-interest-spurs-ambassador-take-over#comment-24803 Big enough for a shooting range.

NO ONE knew anything about the waste station, except zoning, until construction started. Zoning worked on it for over a year, not 8 months, and, according to Durel's office and the council, didn't tell ANYONE.. get your facts straight before YOU throw your little tantrum. - LafayetteForUs Wed, 16 Nov 2011 02:11:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9354-developer-interest-spurs-ambassador-take-over#comment-24645 How much did the current property owners pay in property tax last year? And who are the current property owners? - the original northsidian Mon, 14 Nov 2011 12:26:29 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9354-developer-interest-spurs-ambassador-take-over#comment-24641 This smells the Joey wait and see what his friends get this time? - ben Mon, 14 Nov 2011 09:41:43 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9354-developer-interest-spurs-ambassador-take-over#comment-24621 Lanky: The folks in that area will be kept in the loop. Not like the folks on Sunbeam Lane who where kept in the dark during the whole process. - the original northsidian Sat, 12 Nov 2011 16:36:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9354-developer-interest-spurs-ambassador-take-over#comment-24619 Looks like a nice area for on and off-ramps for an overpass. Still waiting for that by the way. - Backwards town Sat, 12 Nov 2011 14:38:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9354-developer-interest-spurs-ambassador-take-over#comment-24617 and hopefully the citizens in that area will be proactive concerning developments around them and will not throw a temper tantrum to get their way 8 months after the developer gets zoning approval - lanky lawyer Sat, 12 Nov 2011 11:41:54 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9354-developer-interest-spurs-ambassador-take-over#comment-24615 I was wondering the same thing on this transfer. Besides presumably LCG becoming responsible for maintenance and upgrade costs instead of sharing those costs with the state, other than implementing policy for traffic access management along the roadway, how does this change the impact for any landowner/developer versus what has already been constructed along that stretch of road? Previous poster is right that this does allow us a simpler internal review process for choosing red-light cameras. Contrary to other thoughts expressed here, I believe this will not change Lafayette Zoning settings that only permit some activities. If the city was to build another sewer plant there, municipal uses probably are exempt from any zoning code whatsoever. That's where political pressure comes in. We're citizens. We are not powerless. There is a process for deciding such things. It may not be perfect, but there is a process. The important thing is that citizens stay engaged and know how it works. Democracy and citizenship is more than just putting in a vote every couple years. - Jason D.

Some big plant could dump right there in the Vermillion. Absolutely no telling what planning & zoning might approve, a big alligator processing factory or something. - Hope Fri, 11 Nov 2011 19:40:29 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9354-developer-interest-spurs-ambassador-take-over#comment-24599 If the road is transferred to LCCG could they put a red light camera there? - the original northsidian Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:37:50 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9354-developer-interest-spurs-ambassador-take-over#comment-24591 Great spot for a waste transfer station,lot closer to New Iberia as well.Better yet another TIFF in the making. - neutral party Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:00:58 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9354-developer-interest-spurs-ambassador-take-over#comment-24582 Does that mean it will now be appraised properly? - the original northsidian Fri, 11 Nov 2011 12:20:04 +0100
