We may be witnessing the dawn of a whole new wonderful Glendale
tradition: Gregg's Artistic Cemeteries and Mausoleums ("Greggs to head
back to City Hall," May 11-12). A city general plan amendment, a zone
change and acceptance of the existing Oakmont V EIR are being requested
by the Greggs in order for them to move forward with an Oakmont V
cemetery proposal.
I think most everyone would agree it is highly unlikely the Greggs
have any interest in constructing a cemetery. So why are they up to these
shenanigans? Could it be just to continue their harassment of the city
and its citizens?
However, equally likely is a strategy of proposing something nearly as
egregious in many respects as the original 572-lot development and which
is also likely to be turned down by the city. If so, they undoubtedly
hope that this will provide further support for their meritless claim
that the city has unreasonably denied the use of their land.
So the Greggs continue with their endless tactics to wear down the
city and its people to the point of surrender. Please, all of you who are
concerned about the quality of life in Glendale, don't fall into this
trap. Continue your active support of the city's effort to maintain as
open space the wonderful piece of "wilderness" that is Oakmont V.
