Although the building was in disrepair I think Flint needs to take a look at some of our anti-business (job killing) ordinances. Why do we need a parking space ordinance? What business doesn't want to have enough spaces for people to park?

"FLINT - The two-story former shopping center and food court building at Windmill Place will be torn down, in part because of water damage from a leaking roof."
The building is in bad shape, he said, with water damage that would have been expensive to repair.
The decision also was made because of parking rules. City ordinances establish the number of parking spaces needed for a business, he said.
The rules calculate the number of parking spaces required based on the size of the entire development. Without the food court building, he said, no additional parking will be necessary for the new store."
Without this ordinance it might have been feasible to fix up the building in the future instead of just tearing it down in order to comply with a liberal socialist ordanance. |

There's are law for having a certain number of handicap parking spaces available, too. Example of a business with a parking problem is the Kroger store on Corunna Road at I-75. Haven't measured but the parking spaces and aisles seem tighter and harder to navigate than the ones at any of the Meijer stores. Putting in the gas service pumps at that store sure cut into their parking area. Most every time I've been there the parking spots are filled. |

| I thought The Don owned Windmill Place. Wasn't he bragging about how successful he made it in a campaign video 4 years ago? |

How unfortunate that in this day and age that this building couldn't have been renovated for new use. Instead we get a block building right in the middle of a parking lot blocking the view of the one business still operating in the plaza. How many dollar stores does Flint need anyways?
Some would be call this ghetto development because they didn't hire an architect, they just went with the easiest way. The architectural firm which originally designed this site says that the building did not need to be demolished and offered their assistance to the owners.
Our landfills can only hold so much we need to conserve for future generations. |
