RV Park on Channel 7 PDF Print E-mail

Click HERE for the video from the lead story about the RV Park from the Chanell 7 6:00 pm newscast on Tuesday.  Yours truly is featured talking about the issues with the RV Park and problems the City has.  The Mayor is interviewd and talks about how the City follows it's own rules or grants variances for those items that need special consideration.  The Planning Commission granted the waiver for the RVs parking within inches of each other.  However, the Commission did not adress the gravel lot or proximity to the residential  area with variances

  However, the City has not met several of the State Dept of Health regulations for RV parks.  Turns out the State has the same dstance requirement that the Planning Commission waived on Tuesday and other requirements as well.  The City on Wednesday was proceeding without meeting the State requirements or getting variances.

1000 Motorhomes all along the River
Written by reader, on 11-07-2008 21:26
Well, it appears that NO ONE is worried about 
the fact that ( new estimate ) 1,000 ( ONE THOUSAND! ) 
Motorhomes will be arriving in September expecting 
'full service hookups' at the silly little RV Park 
Mayor Hays is trying to build... 
 
...because they absolutely KNOW there won't be room 
at that park for more than 60 Motorhomes. 80 or so 
if they 'cram them in like Sardines'. 
 
Mayor Hays and the North Little Rock Chamber of  
Commerce are simply letting these poor people  
BELIEVE they will ALL have Water and Electric 
for their $150 to $180 per Coach registration fee. 
 
The plan is to just let them all find out they 
have been cheated AFTER THEY GET HERE. 
 
The plan is also to NOT let the public be aware 
that this ARMY of moving houses is going to have 
permission to totally take over the entire  
North Little Rock Riverfront for FIVE DAYS. 
 
They might even have to block off Riverfront Drive 
for FIVE DAYS and use it as part of the 'campground'. 
 
From the CURRENT North Little Rock 
Chamber of Commerce newsletter at... 
 
http://www.nlrchamber.org/assets/documents/ccnorthshorejuly08_Northshorenewsletter.pdf 
 
[snip] 
 
As of the end of May there were 250 pre-registered  
motor coach rally participants.  
That’s 10 times the normal number of pre-registrations.  
We are expecting 500 to 1,000 high-end motor coach homes  
with their families to park along the north shore of the  
Arkansas River ( for FIVE DAYS! ). 
 
[/snip] 
 
There is even a huge PICTURE being used as the 'cover' 
of the newsletter which shows a full-size Motorhome 
simply parked on the grass of Riverfront park, and 
NOT in the 'RV Park'. 
 
So if the intention, all along, has been to just totally 
give over every available piece of grass along the 
North side of the River to these oil-dripping, rut-creating 
double-axle behemoths... then what is all this hullaballoo 
about the stupid 'RV Park'? 
 
The only reason for the RV Park is to make the upper muck-e-mucks of the FMCA organizing committee ( who arrive before the Rally starts ) 'happy' while the rest of the poor slobs are going to be scattered to the winds AFTER they arrive. This is the actual PLAN. 
 
They are going to come and tear the crap out of  
Riverfront park no matter what. 
 
The key to this all along was just to make sure no 
one is aware of what's really going to happen so 
they can't complain about it ahead of time. 
 
Nice way to run a city, Mr. Hays. 
 
This is truly a disaster 'in progress'. 
 
I just feel for all those poor, retired, people 
who are going to pay good money only to get 
screwed out of what they were promised ( Full service 
hookups for five days ) AFTER they arrive... and the  
organizers ( sic: P. Hays and crew ) KNOW they are doing  
this and not telling anyone the truth all in the name 
of some unknown amount of money that's supposed to 
flow down the streets like water once they all arrive. 
 
It is such a blatant, self-serving cash grab at the expense of the good people of the FMCA that it stinks to high heaven. 
 
They, and everyone in North Little Rock who is 
going to stand by and let this happen, should 
be ashamed of themselves.
Well

At this inflationary rate 
250 in May 
500 (reported) July 1 
and 
1,000 (speculated) today,  
NLR should brace for over 1,000,000+ (more than one million) motor homes by September 27th. 
 
I guess that makes NLR the black hole attractor of wide loads. 
 
I suppose if I don't like it, I could leave town for a couple of days and miss the whole thing! 
 
Now why didn't I think of that? 
 
I guess I'd rather bitch about it.
