Leona Helmsley of Wilmington Strikes Again

First, the Warbler wishes to apologize for lack of posts lately. As most of us know, it's a busy time of year with graduation and proms - our kids drive us nuts sometimes don't they?

Anyway, while catching up on some of the town council meeting minutes, I came across this little gem from last week:

(Oh, by the way, I urge all residents to read all the minutes posted on the town website: http://www.townofwilmington.org/minutes.php)

Let me draw your attention to the second to last order of business,

"It was decided that building lots which are half the required size or more
cannot be refused from the pre-existing code of 1988, if it meets the set
backs and septic requirements."

Uh, excuse me.... Who was it that "decided" this? Was there a town vote on this that I
missed out on? This was apparently discussed at the "town council workshop". We all know
who is behind this, don't we? (see the title of this post). She is some piece of work isn't she?
She must have a ton of 1/2 acre properties on her sell-sheets that need unloading... and how
better to do it, than to quickly pass a "town council directive" that usurps the authority of
the Zoning Board of Appeals. Basically, it says: "to hell with you ZBA and town residents, any
lot that I have to sell that's on 1/2 acre, but less than 1 acre, is immediately allowed to be built upon."

Folks: these zoning ordinances are in the books for a reason. It was decide long ago that if your lot is on less than an acre, you can't build on it unless you go before the ZBA. But wait, Leona comes along, and voila! we can now build on undersize lots without ZBA approval. In fact, if you read the directive, it says: "It was decided that building lots which are half the required size"...
HALF THE REQUIRED SIZE. REQUIRED SIZE. If something is "required", doesn't that mean... IT'S REQUIRED? How can you circumvent something that is "required". Apparently, all Leona has to do is have her cronies on the Town Council do it for her. Very nice, isn't it?

Could this have been her motive to get on the town council - it's kind of self-serving if you ask the Warbler.

What do you think? I think all of the Warbler's followers and town residents want to know what the hell is going on here?
