It will be rezoned if it’s a more efficient use of the land. That’s how growth works.

@Molinonative, you seem to not understand how zoning works, just because I own a piece of land, it doesn’t mean that I can do what I want with it. The community does have a say in how the area is used, including private property, that’s why we have zoning. It would not be fair to residents for me to buy property in a place like East hill to raise farm animals like cows, horses or pigs, because its zoned as a subdivision, nor should subdivision be built in the middle of farms.

The developer has only those rights that came with the property when he bought it. He has no right to a change in zoning. The community has a right to have their zoning preserved and protected by the government that is supposed to be looking after our interests.

Obviously everyone is particular about this issue. I am as well. I have no problem welcoming progress but only in its own right. Progress is necessary for adaptation of life. Progress can’t be forced or bought. It has to be understood. It takes understanding of where we are and where we need to be. Infrastructure in Molino is lacking. We have roads that need resurfacing, bridges that need replacing. We have made one inroad in Molino and that’s a 4 way traffic signal at Molino Rd intersection. That’s the kind of progress necessary right now. Building houses and disturbing propagation of our farmers is not exactly a step forward. Sure it’s only a few plots on the west side but where will it end. Will Mr. Thomas Henry stop when he gets what wants. That’s too hard to tell. If we can establish guidelines and find where a line can be drawn, then we may be able to get somewhere. But right now you need to think about your neighbors or somebody on the east side of 29. Put yourself in their situation and think about how rezoning may affect you. Please not for yourselves but for them.

Do I have this right ? If the Developers want to sell 20 acre parcels they could and have no infrastructure costs or this controversy? Mayhaps that’s a better endeavor
Just sell 19 parcels for $200,000. each and attempt to be the home builder for each
parcel.

Man, this is literally like a Yellowstone episode. Much like the show hope it ends in the favor of the landowners/residents. Their way of life, again much like the show, is one I envy.

Molino girl – what a shame that you have to be so mean- “leave – WE don’t want you here!” that is the attitude that causes the end of the type of living you romanticize about! You don’t have to go far on Molino road – trashy unkempt houses – the crime here is unreal!!! I have been here 26 years and the downward trend is obvious! Maybe your type should leave and we could have stores, restaurants and people keeping their yards nice and still friendly! I am so sorry you can’t comment on another persons opinion WITHOUT getting ugly! It is today’s world

I hate to see all of the old farmland, hayfields and agricultural land being sucked up by developers for subdivisions and apartments. The good news is I could afford the 4 acres but couldn’t afford the minimum cost of the houses they build.

We need affordable acreage for horse lovers!

I have lived in Molino almost my whole life. I remember when there was more than one grocery store here. We use to have more than one gas station. Back when yes everyone knew everyone else and they looked out for each other. If you did something wrong your Momma or Grandma knew about it before you got home. So sad that those days are far behind us now. It is also sad that we live in a time where money talks and the people in charge are drunk with wanting as much as they can get. Our small piece of country is already gone we just don’t want to admit it.
