We don't appreciate any high-powered developer who THREATENS our elected officials with a "takings" lawsuit, just because they may see an unfavorable cost/benefit analysis and end up siding with us neighbors who oppose a rezoning application to convert 130 acres of undeveloped land from a Light Industrial status to Residential.
Why is this important?
I was upset enough as it was when I learned back in 2006 a developer allegedly bribed a former county commissioner to push through a land acquisition deal in a part of Gwinnett County that was neither needed, nor wanted; yet he stood to gain $7.3 million more than it was appraised 16 months earlier. But now it's all come home next door here in the Cruse/Club Corridor and it's high time to expose the same David G. Jenkins as the CEO/CFO/Secretary of Rocklyn Homes as the man who wants to build 334 homes on the last remaining tract of land of this size in densely populated central Gwinnett. For this to happen, Jenkins needs the land rezoned from Light Industrial to Residential. I don't believe our county commissioners should do him any favors by approving his application RZR2013-00003. Do you?
