October 17, 2011 (Regular Meeting) Page 637 In retrospect, previous boards that approved every subdivision, with lot sizes .24 or even less, leaving us without any yards and common areas. There are no safe uncongested roads for children to play in their yard without being in the road or in a neighbor's yard. Cars are lined up on both sides. There are no adequate parking spaces in their own houses. You can go through any subdivision unless there is a foreclosure sign is out front. You cannot get through it. A child cannot play in their yard. This is why we have to seek out a park and to get our children outside. Otherwise they have become gamers and glued to MP3's, etc. This has created the overwhelming expense to provide parks, ball fields, etc. Along with this, over building in mass, has created a tremendous burden on the schools. This is another overwhelming debt, the tax payers must absorb. This proposed thread trail, will not ease the loss of jobs, loss of houses, I do not believe the stress on families will be eradicated by a Thread Trail. I close with this statement, how many homeless, hungry, destitute people are going to benefit from this trail? None. I will quote Forest Gump, "stupid is, as stupid does ". Thank You. With there being no one else to address the Board, Chairman White closed that portion of the meeting. E) OLD BUSINESS None.
