George Lovelace Wants No Standards
George Lovelace and Shirley Damon know the Windover Heights Historic District is on life support.
George Lovelace, Vienna Town Council and Shirley Damon of Damon Galleries Ltd.
With Shirley Damon by his side Councilman George Lovelace, in a now infamous Town work session, utters:
"There are some things that don't have to be on a standard...I am little bit worried about having to redo this and put a bunch of numbers and things that we have to follow...I am not ready for that."
George Lovelace
Mayor Seeman responds:
"Right I agree. Well you start getting into trouble when you [pause] as we know [pause] you don't want to get into numbers guys. You want to keep it a little 'loosey' here."
Jane Seeman
This dialogue from Lovelace and Seeman shows why multiple lawsuits are pending against the Vienna Town Council. These people think it is perfectly appropriate to make citizens appear before review boards where there are no rules. Worse yet, as the above dialogue shows, they don't want any rules!
Comments
"...The historic district represents the vision of our citizens and the Council to ensure that future generations will have the benefit of a community that reflects its past as well as the present..."
So, the Historic District reflects the past as well as the present? What the hell does that mean? The old folks speak for the young folks? If we build it today, it's as historic as it was 100 years ago? The vision of which citizens? Certainly not the ones that live there. Because many of them disagree with that "logic".
