Opposition to the Subdivision of 3.87 Acres into 20 Townhomes on Five Acre Road by Epic Design & Build, LLC
We, the undersigned residents and members of the Five Acre Road, Crooked Creek, and surrounding communities, strongly oppose the proposed development to subdivide 3.87 acres into 20 units of townhomes at a density of no more than 10,000 sq. ft./acre, as presented by Epic Design & Build, LLC.
Reasons for Opposition:
Community Character & Density Concerns
Our neighborhoods are defined by spacious, low-density lots that preserve the rural and residential character of Milton. The proposed 20-unit development is incompatible with the surrounding area and would drastically alter the feel and integrity of our community.
Traffic & Safety:
Adding 20 new residences adjacent to a narrow, quiet road like Five Acre will increase both vehicle and foot traffic significantly, posing risks to the quality of life in our neighborhood and on our roads, pedestrians, cyclists, and children who play in and around the area and bring unwanted traffic along with increased volume.
As the city of Milton continues to develop highway 9, the plans call for a median, which will cause all of these new townhomes to have to have to U-Turn in the Crooked Creek and Lake Laurel sub divisions which is already overcrowded with its own residents and highways 9 Traffic. This will become a massive issue and safety concern.
Environmental Impact:
Increased density will affect local ecosystems, tree coverage, and potentially water drainage in an area already rich with natural beauty turning a single family community into a commercialized townhome development to line the pockets of both the developers and builders at the expense of our neighborhoods.
Lack of Community Support
Not a single homeowner or resident on Five Acre Road or in the adjacent neighborhoods supports this construction. This project is being pursued against the will of the community and the taxpayers of Milton.
Precedent for Overdevelopment
Allowing this type of high-density development sets a dangerous precedent for future developments that could erode the unique quality of life that Milton, and specifically 5 acre road, is known for.
We respectfully urge the City of Milton and the Planning Commission to reject this proposal and preserve the character, safety, and quality of life of our beloved community.
We would propose to the developers 6-8 less dense and larger townhome units or 2-4 large single family homes with an entrance on 5 acre rd.

I have been hearing from so many neighbors who are worried about the traffic safety on Five Acre Road. It is truly humbling to see how much this community cares about keeping our streets safe for everyone.

I truly never imagined that one hundred people would feel this strongly about Five Acre Road. This is entirely your doing and I am just humbled to be a part of it.

I am honestly a bit stunned by the momentum this has gained over the past few days. This is entirely due to this community coming together to protect our neighborhood and I am just so grateful to be part of such a dedicated group.

I oppose this development for the reasons laid out in the petition. Milton should stand by the stated intent in the Milton Code, Chapter 64, Article XX (Deerfield Form Based Code) Article I (General ) 1.1 (Intent) g) That the quality-of-life in existing neighborhoods should be preserved and protected.
Turning into an out of our neighborhood from Highway nine is already dangerous and this will only exacerbate that issue. That location is directly on a curve which has limited site lines and will pose an increased risk of accidents.
This lot is way too small for 20 townhouses! Please do not allow this development be put between the much larger lots of Crooked Creek and 5 Acres.
The original charter of this area of Milton, (was Alpharetta in 2006 ) is to preserve and be low density. Townhomes in this area is high density and goes against this charter.
Why the city would approve losing all the natural wooded landscape is beyond me. With all the construction yet to happen on Hwy. 9, it seems like they haven’t given this much thought.
This development would destroy highway nine/ traffic etc…and the beautiful 5 acres neighborhood.
My family is very opposed to the development on Highway 9 and 5 Acre Road - this development is not in the spirit of Milton's Mission!!!

My family would be against this project in any case, but especially given the road congestion we're about to get absolutely crushed by given how the Hwy 9 expansion has gone. This would increase traffic in an area that's already set to become the biggest bottleneck in roadway history.
