I too realize the benefits of open space and prefer the area`s current state to what is coming. However, there is a reason why we have Parks & Open Space plans. The very intent of those plans are to provide predictability and prevent situations like these from taking place.
Nevertheless, my concern is with adjacent landowners dictating what can be done on adjacent lands that they do not own. If this park can be deemed a regional asset, I`m up for compensating the developer and adding it to the parks inventory.

Aren't they asking for it to be rezoned?
