UPDATE - County postpones hearing for Mayfield 'city' proposal

Wednesday, December 1, 2010

Adverse weather prompted Elmore County's growth and development department to postpone a public hearing regarding plans to build a second planned community west of Mountain Home.

The county's planning and zoning commission originally scheduled the public hearing for Wednesday evening.

The meeting comes as the seven-person commission continues to debate whether to approve plans for a similar, smaller development.

Spanning 5,000 acres, the Mayfield Townsite project calls for building a self-sustaining community at the border of Elmore and Ada counties.

  • Bazookaman...or should I say "moron-squad member"

    When did Mountain Home and the Elmore County become your private resort? Oh ya, I forgot your a dirt farmer who thinks that this area needs to stay in the "stone ages"....

    What is it that you do for a living, kill whistle pigs and sell their hides...with growth comes opportunity, such as JOBS and a better quality of life for ALL!!!!

    Oh, that's right...also better education..knowledge is POWER...but I forgot, you dropped out of school at 6th grade and become a dirt farmer...yee haw!!!

    So do us all a favor and crawl back to your cave...

  • I'm with you on this one Bazooka, yeah, just what we need. Have'nt even filled the lots or homes that were started here five years ago, there are Brand New homes still sitting unsold and empty in the development behind me on the north side of town, blocks my once beautiful view of the Mtns. that I bought my home for 13 years ago tho.

  • Sticks and stones may break my bones, but "Morons" won't hurt me...for the love of god, you people are full of yourself's...for once, sit back and listen to your non-sense!

    You have the nerve to call me a racist when Bazooka bone-head makes a comment like, and I quote

    "knuckleheads who like to cruise the streets with those "boom-boxes" in their cars volumed up into the stratosphere so they can "share" that garbage with the 99% of everyone ELSE who would rather NOT have to listen to it."

    Oh by the way, the word "volumed" is inappropriate for the meaning of the sentence..you should of phrase the sentence as "boom-boxes in their cars. With the volume up"..that sounds much better...wait I forgot, you have limited knowledge of the English language because of you're Idaho public education. Who are you referring as "knuckleheads"? Maybe African Americans or Mexican Americans..who's the RACIST now! You wouldn't know culture, unless it bit you in the rear!

    Please, enough of the "when I got here in 1972 there was no need for a jail"...give me a break..

    Unfortunately, crime has always been a part of society and will always be, regardless of how big or small a community is.

    In-regards to idea of moving out of Mountain Home and maybe to Alaska..that's a WONDERFUL idea..you and your "moron-squad" would make a nice addition to the rest of the Sarah Palin morons...but if I were you, I;d watch out for the native Americans there, I think they would take offense to them being called "Eskimo's"...what a moron!

  • Bazooka, I moved here in 1985 and I believe the pop. was right around 8000 and I stayed here as well because I can't stand city life. Montana is looking better to me every day.

  • Ahh...the inside thoughts of SIMPLETONS!!!!

    With the likes of you two, our country is doomed..please tell me that you two haven't any off-spring.

    I would hate the thought of the continuation of you two morons from your loins!!!!

    My god, where do people like you two winners come from? AMAZING!

    Oh, by the way Bazook..nice touch with the usage of "ain't"...trailer park in-bred 101...yee haw!

  • cant justwatch...first let's get the record straight once and for ALL...I am NOT a liberal, nor have I ever been one...and I would admit to being one if I were one...I'm not even a registerd Democrat or Republican...I'm a Independent...

    Second, JUST because I was born and raised in NYC doesn't automatically make me a crack ***** and welfare mamma (racist comment)...there are a lot of decent hard working Americans who call themselves New Yorkers..." you ignorant moron"

    Third, I am a college graduate with a Masters degreee in socialiology and policitical theory and I make a decent living with never ever being on welfare.

    Lastly, if it weren't for programs like affirmative action, college assistance funds, I might have never been able to fund my college education...my parents were extremely hard working tax-paying citizens who never, ever ask for a hand-out, but a hand to help their SON get a first-rate education. My father migrated from western Africa and served is adopted nation in the Vietnam War, and with the help of another government program (GI Bill) completed his education and became a educator...my mother's family migrated from Italy, with my grandfather coming over to America when he was only 15..he worked his hands to the bone and established a thriving business in Queens...he served his adopted country WWII and Korea and with his hard work put my mother to college.

    So, the next time you decide to open that ignorant mouth of yours, realize that not everyone who is New York or the east and are of skin of color is a "welfare mamma"...you racist bigot!
