LETTER: Glacier's many uses
Tue, 10/04/2011
Thank you for your coverage of the Glacier High School reunion.
I appreciated the comment about the school's "new" usages, along with the reason for the "Big Picture School" moving(their sign is still up in the front parking lot.)
I am very fond of paper trails. There was a public hearing for a "conditional use permit" before the "Big Picture" opened.
I don't remember about one for the athletic group or the church that was using it. Where is the line drawn? ( I remember the "police academy" even had to get one.)
What happens to the taxing structure when a school structure turns into a rental structure-- not a school?
Also residents did not volunteer to live with the "new noise" levels. Some haved lived here for fifty years. The airport seemed further away then. The FAA once said, "no parking lots in the clear zones" and gave legitimate reasons then. How many cars park at the ends of the runways now? A newsy neighborhood!
Thanks for the local paper.
