Here's a little recap of the Building Committee meeting on August 29.




Good morning everyone;

    Here’s a little recap on the Planning Commission’s report to the Council Building Committee of August 29.
  • Council members sitting on this committee are Council member Kadzak, Ekberg and Lovrovich. Council members Kadzak and Ekberg are up for re-election next year.
  • The city was not prepared for the number of folks that showed up for this meeting. GOOD ON YOU for showing up!
  • The location was changed to a larger room to accommodate this number of interested folks.
  • The committee called for a traffic study on downtown Gig Harbor.They called for this study to happen in October when the tourists are gone and kids have returned to school and downtown is not so busy.
  • The 15 trumped up zoning amendments were “kicked on down the road”. They were kicked to an upcoming work session between the Planning Commission and Council. C4GH will keep you advised of the date. Council members Kadzak and Ekberg are up for re-election next year.   (Council members Payne and Arbnez and the Mayor are up for re-election next year.)
What we know!
  • If there had been no citizens attending this meeting those trumped up zoning changes would have gone forward.
 
What else?
  • If you were at this committee meeting you heard mention of residential fire sprinklers.  Council member Arbenz believes not enough people have died for this new public safety policy.  Let's talk about his very concerning statement tomorrow.
