The Mayor and Board of
Aldermen vote the Treehouse down!
Herb Touchton is our
hero! He voted to keep the Treehouse!
We want to thank everyone who came out to support us once again.
We hope everyone realizes how much your support means to our family.
We also want to thank our Attorney, Steve Smith, for providing a solid case for keeping our
treehouse.
 |
It
appeared that the city's decision was made ahead of time since
the Aldermen's motions to deny our requests were pre-typed and photocopied before our lawyer
presented our case. We plan to appeal their decision. |
 |
We objected
when one alderman compared this story to two notorious criminal scandals, Worldcom and Watergate. We had to remind the board that this is a civil case about a
treehouse. |
 |
| The
story went National on the CBS Early Show . We have received calls of support from all over the country. |

The Planning and Zoning
Board votes not to decide!
(The vote is without
recommendation and a violation of section 2411.03 of the city
ordinance.)
If the zoning board cannot even make a decision, how is
this homeowner supposed to interpret the ordinance?
Standing room only crowd
overflows courtroom and is unanimous to keep treehouse!

Scot and Mary Welch cannot
thank the people enough for their kind words, support and
devotion.
