If you decide to circulate a petition to rid the county of our administrator bring those petitions to me.

I don’t know what everyone else’s opinion is on the mobile home issue; however, I will voice mine: How can you expect no mobile homes in one of the poorest counties in this state? A lot of people that live in this county cannot afford huge mortgage payments and mobile homes are the answer for them. There are mobile home parks all over Ocean City, Virginia Beach, all over Florida. I do not see what the issue is with mobile homes.

Keep up the good work Wayne!

Wayne Creed…you are one of the Eastern Shores greatest treasures in the form of a three dimensional human being! Outstanding job capturing the facts surrounding the more-than-embarrassing antics of the majority of the Board of Supervisors. As you reported, the mind-blowing display of arrogance as County Administrator Nunez pulled the strings firmly threaded to the corners of Supervisor Trala’s mouth, having him “call the question” and stopping Hogg from discussing a very important issue in direct violation of Robert’s Rules, is proof positive that we need a change in all levels of county government, starting with the administration.
Incandescently clear that the county government, including the majority of the Board of Supervisors, the Planning Commission, the “economic” development director, and planning staff are dancing to the tune of private interests at the expense of the majority of the citizenry. It also appears to this commenter that the proposed destruction of everything that we know and love about the Eastern Shore is being choreographed by the County Administrator, and I think it is high time we seriously consider circulating a petition that registers a “VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE” against this administrator, and we do it post haste.
All of us, be it “from heres”, “come heres” or “wanna be heres” have invested in this county because of what it is and what we thought it should and could be. We must not let a few private interests ruin our investment and our hopes and dreams for our collective future, and I present that it is time to take off the gloves, roll up our sleeves, and begin to restore an air of respectability to what should be OUR county government.

Dan, Ken Dufty can speak to this better than I can, but I believe the current draft allows, by right, single wide mobile homes in conservation, agriculture, R-5, hamlet and village districts. Single Wides are, I believe permitted with a special use permit in R, R-1, and R-3 districts, but larger “Mobile Home Parks” are not listed as an allowable district in the proposed zoning ordinance, and instead have to apply to be rezoned as a Planned Unit Development.

There is going to be (weather permitting), an information session at Kiptopeke Elementary School on Thursday night at 7, which hopefully will answer many of these questions.

If I understand the proposed new zoning by the Northampton County Supervisors (and I hope I’m wrong), you could, by right, buy a seaside lot and plop a trailer on it and live it up. I believe trailers are going to be allowed, by right, anywhere in Northampton County. How short sighted and desperate. Who elected these people? Again, I hope I’m wrong on this. Maybe someone could advise?

Get it done, Supervisors. Every person in the county paying flood insurance premiums is looking forward to a break in the cost. Don’t forget you were elected by these people and you can be un-elected as well. It’s a no brainer. Don’t let the people you are supposed to be representing down.
