Bethlehem ZHB Has No Appeals For Second Time in a Year

Bethlehem's Zoning Hearing Board was scheduled to meet last night, and I arrived at Town Hall at the appointed hour. But aside from a zoning groupie named Warren who tells me loves the humor at zoning hearings, I was the only one there. Chairman Gus Loupos told me that there were no appeals and they had a rare night off. This could be a sign that Bethlehem's new zoning ordinance is working or that the real estate market is in the tank.

    I showed up for the Stone Post Curative Amendment in Lower Nazareth, to find it was postponed. I should have called. I've never heard a curative amendment argued, and this project is controversial. Looks like we made similar errors, but I wouldn't have written a scintillating write-up afterwards.

    That's because you're sane.

    @12:06 Thank you! I have been off a day for three days!!! I thought today was the 4th, and yesterday was the 3rd. Doh. No wonder there was no meeting yesterday. I need to go look - I didn't see any news articles. There should be something out there.

    Looks like nobody covered it. So much for public outcry.

    Anon 4:49: Actually, the room was packed and many people were forced to stand.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
