More planning board comments

January 29, 2013 - Jessica Collier
I reported last week about the planning board hearing on the first phase of the ACR.

Turns out there were also two written comments submitted to the board. One was from former planning board member Don Dew Jr., who resigned because he's working in Lake Placid this winter, and Ella Klueck, who I don't know but is apparently an adjoining property owner.

Here's the text of Dew's letter, dated Jan. 23:

"Please enter the following comments into the record regarding the above captioned matter. I am 100% in support of this project as proposed and approved by the Adirondack Park Agency. I request the Tupper Lake Planning Board give this portion of the project its unanimous and timely approval. This project meets all the necessary requirements of the Tupper Lake Zoning and Land Use code. This project has also gone through one of the most extensive project reviews in the history of the Adirondack Park Agency culminating in a 10-1 vote of approval. Thank you for the opportunity to provide these comments and I look forward to your approval of the ACR.

Sincerely,

Don Dew Jr.

Past Planning Board Member

Past President Tupper Lake Chamber of Commerce

Adjoining Landowner to the ACR Project

Owner/Manager Timber Lodge"

Klueck, who lists a Largo, Fla., address in her letter dated Jan. 7, wrote simply:

"As an adjoining property owner, I support the development of 22 lots by Preserve Associates, LLC."

I'm going to try to attach PDFs of all the comments, including LaValley's and Facteau's, but I'm not sure if I know how to do it. Apologies if it doesn't work.

Jessica Collier it is time for you to go! You call yourself a reporter.......it's time you did more than a little investigating on the the obligations of a GOOD reporter. To be very clear you have much to learn about your craft. There are two areas that you need much improvement in before you call yourself a reporter. First....get your facts correct! I don't know who or what you use for getting your facts, but more often than most you don't get it right! Second, good reporting comes from a reporter who is open to the facts, and doesn't make it personal.....that is your biggest failure!!! Wake up Enterprise, time to bring on a Real Reporter one who will give us the truth without their personal side of it!

If people used their energies to improve the financial bleeding going on in this area instead of beating a dead horse and just admit they got their butts kicked and move on it would do the area a favor, sour grapes does not accomplish a thing but waste time and money that could be spent actually doing something that would help the area. Some people must actually enjoy treading water.

As far as the PDFs go, they are hard to read at that size. To make them bigger, you can use the magnifying glasses at the bottom to zoom in or out, you can use the full screen button all the way to the left at the bottom to view the whole thing bigger, or you can use the button on the left with the down arrow to download the PDFs and view them in your own PDF viewer.

Oh, and that was the best photo of McClelland that I could get. His face was down in his paper in the rest of them.

I'm assuming you're referring to the rail/trail story, bjccd5, which is not what this post is about. But it's a reporter's job to summarize, not list everything exactly as it was said at an hour-and-a-half-long meeting. If you want the meeting minutes, get them from the village clerk or attend the meeting yourself. If you want to get an overall idea of what happened, read a news report.

I don't think Jess chooses the pictures bro.

The PDFs are great, but please try to enlarge them.....very difficult to read as one gets older, ya know????

Why did you put such an aweful picture of McClelland in the paper? and more importantly, I understand Dan gave pages of data, yet you quoted ONE line from all of that! Why Jess??? This man (that I don't agree with all the time) has a plethora of knowledge and his opinion should be reported with all the deligence he contributes!!! Personal perhaps? Hope not!! this is reporting in America.......
