Comments on: WHAT IS THEIR PROBLEM? Is Tipp City Anti-Business? http://tippnews.com/opinion/what-is-their-problem-is-tipp-city-anti-business/ Tipp City, Ohio News, Sports, Entertainment and Opinions Sat, 04 Feb 2012 10:38:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: adamblake http://tippnews.com/opinion/what-is-their-problem-is-tipp-city-anti-business/comment-page-1/#comment-789 adamblake Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:48:10 +0000 http://tippnews.com/?p=2943#comment-789 While you bring up some excellent points, remember that these ordinances and laws are in place to protect the unique quality of life we enjoy here. The alternative is Miller Lane. We can have that in Tipp City if the citizens decide that is what they want. Completely unfettered access to signage, free for all traffic planning and nightmarish backups along the main road and highway access roads. We plan to control what happens in our community. Sometimes we make mistakes and have to augment our plan, which is probably what the city should do. But it is complete baloney for Holiday Inn to claim to do a 4 million dollar hotel build and not know the sign code would be an issue? Menard's didn't have a problem with the sign code and their business is thriving. Watching the guy from Holiday Inn lie to City Council was a bit much. By the way, use your real name to leave comments or don't bother. That is so cowardly!

What actually is to be gained by trying to force these two businesses to "comply" with "the rules"? Who is really happy about this and why? Government is all about constantly reviewing laws/codes and granting variances when necessary. At least that is how state governments operate. Not that we want to be like state government but I just can't see how that Holiday Inn sign is offensive or a problem in any kind of way. If Council was concerned about the Warrior Racing mural, do they consider that a nice "regular" sign like what Holiday Inn wants to put up would sort of counter-balance our "perception" to people driving down I-75?
