Apparently there is a movement afoot to revive the Sonoma Ridge development. No, not for a golf course. Rumor has it there was a meeting this past week at City Hall among interested parties. In the meantime the walls on the retention ponds continue to be in disrepair. Interesting in that the K Cove seawall project was completed in about two weeks. Back to Alderman Finn's question to the mayor at last council meeting..."We could fine them right?" The City has been playing patty-cake with Sonoma for the last ten months...would you get the same slack? Puzzling is the deafening silence of the West Side residents who fought Sonoma from the very beginning, to the point of going to court...twice. Guess they don't care. Lost in the fray are the two West Ward aldermen, Hoy and DeJong. No comments during the discussion regarding Sonoma at the Council Meeting. A perfect bracket, Sonoma lies exactly between their two properties. Talk about nuisances. They both were willing to pass an ordinance directed at one residents use of yard lights while ignoring the issue of the walls falling down.
There are some who believe our current building codes discourage development. Really? I think the lack of response on Sonoma belies the true sentiment of developers towards the City...pushovers.

It is a shame. That is exactly what it is. That our government as we call them, will hound a current resident (I do not know who the light thing is about) but have let this (excuse my language) P----- foot around as my grandfather would have said. Why have they not been fined. As it has been brought up this is going on a year. The entire thing looks horrific, it's falling apart, yet if it was a house someone would have done something. Get on the ball City Council. Do what you are paid to do!!!!!!!!!!11 FIX IT
