Comments about ‘Holladay residents' appeal denied’

He's the lone voice of reason on the Holladay city council. Holladay's mad development dash is very short sighted and has led to a lot of damage to local small businesses in the area.

sounds like a case of "we are going to do what we want but you will pay for it" typical America

The Holladay City Council and the mayor are examples of what happens when people get a little power and begin to wield it with abandon. They have begun to take us down the road to a Holladay of their own likeness and image, which is to say, highly inflated. Many of us regret having voted to incorporate Holaday as we have seen little benefit to the average citizen that we would not have seen from the county. In the meantime there has been a parade of arrogant little men and women in city hall professing to know what's best for us and refusing to even acknowledge contrary points of view.

Bravo Developers & Builders, without them no one would have a house to live in. Keep those fine new project a coming.

5 stories is a little tall, I would rather see 3, but looking forward to the changes. Hopefully it will bring a more intimate city center experience.

This building is 12 feet taller than Olympus Junior High and if you count the clock tower it is 32 feet taller!! There will be 81 apartment units on top, some of which will be for low income. This is the first building of 4. Looks like our councilmen want us to have a downtown "gateway" in our little Holladay. I have always loved the Holladay small town feel, sadly that will be a thing of the past!!

I'm amazed at the comments on this article. Are you people crazy or just too lazy to get the facts? Barry Topham is a liar and has tried to incite fear among his constituents into thinking this is high-rise, high-density development.

Yay Topham, what exactly is the "mad development dash" of Holladay? I'd hardly call the Village project a mad dash of anything given the fact the City has deliberated over the issue for half a decade. And, how have small businesses been damaged because of it? They'll all benefit because of it!

Overstep, the City Council conducted many PUBLIC meetings on the issue. How many did you attend? One? Two? When? If you're not going to participate in the process then don't expect city government to know your expectations. As Mayor Webb has stated, it's difficult to understand a play when you enter in the final act.

Mr. Disappointing, you're "small town feel" was not economically-efficient and obliged a property tax increase. You've also been lied to by people like Topham about the "low income" apartments. Get the facts...and vision.
