Watch this Mackes/Davis land deal for the Rockawalkin/Crooked Oak Lane land deal. (Interesting that it should be taking place on CROOKED Oak Lane).
Up here in the vale of the Gunpowder, one of our local scumbag developers -- one Randy Shelley-- tried to buy off the local community associations by donating land for a massive sports complex on a two lane road no better than Rockawalkin or Crooked Oak. He did this in order to a get a serious zoning change pushed through on land that used to be tightly classified. In this, he was aided and abetted by our scumbag RINO county councilman, T. Bryan McIntire. Why? "It was for the children".
The local associations were able to get the facility downsized-- from about 600 parking spaces with an indoor facility to 300 parking spots, fewer fields, and no night games after 8pm. But-- nothing is being done about the traffic load on that road.
Do yourselves a favor, and watch this carefully. I know some folks who live out that way-- I think that Tom Field lives right around the church there -- and those roads will go to hell quickly.
I don't think anyone would disagree that keeping land as athletic fields is better than another 11 lot McMansion version of Wysteria Lane, but they can kill quality of life just as easily.
Watch your back my friends.
