WE'VE STARTED TO WIN - LET'S FINISH THE JOB!    

BUT...... WE NEED YOUR HELP - WE CAN SEE THE BOTTOM OF OUR WAR CHEST!

LAWYERS COST MONEY:    

The Zoning Board voted Monday night 8-1 to grant the appeal filed by The Grove First of the Special Class II permit given to Home Depot.

The Zoning Board reiterated what we have been saying for the past year and a half -- it is not the design of the store, it is the operation of the store.  Home Depot has proven themselves to be a bad neighbor.

Photos taken of the S.W. 8th St. taken three days before the Village Council meeting on June 6 show the disaster that still exists at that location. The next step is a Commission hearing. 

Traffic is still a major issue and as one of the zoning board members said - you don't need a traffic study to tell you what you already know - you just have to get in your car and drive. You know traffic is bad now and traffic will be a lot worse if Home Depot comes to Coconut Grove.
