I know of a developer who has broken so many <br /> 52 planning, so many things that he was not allowed to do and as far as I'm concerned, he should be in prison. It looks like there <br /> 53 is nothing going to happen to him and so it seems like it is a tool in the toolbox that could be used, maybe not with the current <br /> 54 County Staff we have now but in the future. When someone who is oblivious to laws that are in place including planning, <br /> 55 that's all. <br /> 56 *************************************** <br />
