Planning and commercial development

By Steve Mick

Candidate for Member, Town Council; Proposed Town of Alamo

This information is provided by the candidate
Alamo's commercial area is currently well-suited to serve the local community
As a member of the Alamo Town Council I will serve as an agent of minimal change. Alamo has a unique semi-rural character which I will strive to preserve. I believe that Alamo's commercial area is currently well-suited to serve the local community. Future residential growth needs to be measured. Additional development and lot splits must be carefully studied and new construction or remodels must reasonably conform to the existing ambience of the neighborhood.

As a youngster in Ohio, I spent most of my summers on my grandparent's farm. For this reason, the rural nature of Alamo is important to me. For example, I will not vote for any zoning changes which would affect the ability of Alamo residents to keep livestock.

The power of eminent domain must never be used by any government to acquire private property for a non-public purpose.
