Enough building, roads can't handle these developments popping up all over this area. Stop with the solar panels as well

The zoning should not be changed for this project. It's disappointing we found about this project from a neighbor, thank you. I would like to thank Roy Green as well, so many great points. Let's not forget the townhouse project that they wanted to start on the eastside of the road as few years back. I am sure if this gets approved that will be next. Changes like this never help the families that live on the road. It's hard to fight big money.

There are too many of these on 250 already. 250 and Atlantic, 250 next to the Y, Empire Blvd.

We have lost so much green space as it is- we need to preserve this space.

RT 250 is already overwhelmed with traffic that can't figure out the speed limits and where to turn and where not to. The highest and best use of the land is its current.

We need to preserve our agriculture and wild life. Roads are not big enough. The infrastructure is not there to keep building

Harris Rd resident. The town of Penfield has screwed with the west side of 250 for some time now changing zoning to make it all work. Leave the east of 250 and beyond alone!

I would like to see the quiet rural atmosphere retained on Marchner rd.
A huge amount of that property is in the 100 year flood plain zone. The area has low density housing and should stay that way.

This oversized planned housing development would negatively impact tax paying residents in the area that call Webster home. There are veterans with severe ptsd that live directly behind the land that chose Webster as their sanctuary away from congested and over populated areas in and around Rochester.
Additionally, as a city resident who has to do the majority of shopping in the suburbs, we choose Webster over Henrietta or Greece due to the traffic congestion in those other areas. Thank you.

The longevity of ownership by the Marchner family. There is still “working farmland” in use.

I grew up in Webster. I lived on Marchner Rd in the early 80’s. It was peaceful and a safe place for children. Now the Webster I knew is unrecognizable. I could ride my bike literally anywhere and be safe. That is not the case now. Too many cars. This subdivision will add much more traffic and destroy animal habitats. Website has lost its charm. So sad to see

Canyou just rezone land that is sitting unused like the old Rite Aid sitting vacant, or the numerous Xerox buildings??? Why do you have to destroy green space to build anew? Be thoughtful of what you’re doing.

Webster needs to stop growing. It’s bursting out of its seam with all the traffic. I grew up in Webster and at one time it was a nice quiet little town. It’s reached its capacity and then some. No more!!!

I agree - the current infrastructure and roadways are not capable of accommodating this capacity. Coming from Raleigh NC please don’t agree to these developments looking to build fast, low quality homes (a single family home on 8,000 sq ft?).

We live nearby. Too much development is taking away from the country scape we enjoy. Let’s not turn into another Henrietta. Besides, Rte 250 is already becoming congested. It should remain zoned as is.
