Exactly, Georgia S. My husband & I are in our 60s/70s and looking to downsize from our 4 acre property. There are many seniors like us out there and this is exactly what we are looking for.

Another way to look at this – the neighborhoods with smaller lots in good areas of town – will make nice retirement homes when children are grown/married and seniors don’t want to manage larger lots and houses.

If the lot size is 0.14 of an acre, that’s 7.14 homes on an acre! Will garage walls be separated by less than 10 feet? To advertise this as a 35 acre +/- development is ludicrous! Most of that acreage is part of the wetland and cannot be built on. Who does the developer think they are fooling? I’m disgusted with this decision! Those County Commissioners will not receive any votes from me!

In reply to Kane. There is nothing wrong with folks of lesser net worth. The problem is that cluster housing in the backyards of of existing lesser-density housing lowers their property values.

Want! They vote for such issues based on their own liberal views!

This effort to fill in older neighbor hoods with higher density developements is bad policy. The developer gains by lower per unit infrastructure cost and the established developed properties suffer a reduction in market value due to the undesirable increase in per acre density in their neighborhood. It is essentially a liberal humanitarian gesture to provide cheaper housing at your expense ! By all means , resist this policy implementation and vote out of office those that support such garbage policies !!
