A week after the Sunset Hills Board of Aldermen rejected resident Al Moore’s request to operate a library on the former Paraclete property, he’s already considering alternative uses for the property.
The board unanimously rejected Moore’s request on March 12 based on a lack of compromise between the property's owner, Al Moore, and residents in the Tapawingo subdivisions. Alderman Dee Baebler was absent.
Moore is still seeking historical status for four buildings on the property, according to Suburban Journals. Moore told Suburban Journals he’s “been in touch with some churches and schools” to use the property.

If these narrow minded busy body neighbors keep complaining, Moore should suggest, as property owner, to tear down the historic buildings and put up as many condo units as the property will hold. Then when the Sunset Hills council says no, just sue them. He proposed a library for pete's sake -- seems like a great guy trying to keep a bit of history and green estate alive. It's his money after all. Screw those neighbors.
