Updates on LAMB at Kingsbury?

Anonymous
Does anyone know what happened with the appeals process last month? Is LAMB moving forward with that campus next year?

The neighbors put in a new complaint. So the process is on hold again. I don’t understand the neighbors and at this point it just seems petty.

I love in the neighborhood and never heard of a new complaint. Can you share what happened and when?

Sorry, not a new complaint, a new appeal to the zoning board. Can you please get your people together?

At the end of last month the neighbors appealed. It will likely delay the move another year.

Is the gist of the complaint is that Kingsbury bldg was never properly zoned for a school, but was allowed to operate for the last couple decades.

I assume the complaints are the usual - too much traffic / noise for a residential neighborhood?

Last I heard the neighbors wanted a gradual ramp up to the full school size. LAMB insisted on the full size right away, said it was a financial issue.

It seems like a reasonable request from the neighbors.

No it doesn’t.

Maybe it will all end well. I’m sure 600 condos will be better for their property values. Developers have better lawyers.

It's actually a pretty good part of town to add density. There are a few restaurants, but some of them struggle.

The city needs more housing. That isn’t what this appeal is about. Let’s not pretend it is or dignify it as such.

Lamb will screw the neighbors over for sure. You can bet on this.

LAMB could have been in there by now. They just chose to play hardball and not compromise on any meaningful way.

Very reasonable. Lamb can kick out the poors another way.


Referring to people as “the poors” and the sentiment in this comment are vile and disgusting.

I am a good listener so I listen a lot so that I can learn what is happening in my community. Some of the most obnoxious parents I have ever talked with about schools are the LAMB parents. Of course, this does not mean that they are all this way and I have also talked with some LAMB parents who I like very much. I will just say this - the messenger matters. You should not let your obnoxious parents be the messengers on this. Goes over like a lead balloon.
