This is a petition to stop the Ashley Hall Plantation Development as currently proposed.
Ashley Hall Plantation Partners LLC of Carolina Holdings Group has purchased the land at the intersection of Ashley Hall Plantation Road and Captiva Row with the intent to have the property annexed into the city of Charleston and develop clustered homes. The design is inconsistent with surrounding neighborhoods and will likely negatively impact the surrounding areas with increased traffic, decreased home value, water run off, and parking issues from a new park. We have had meetings with the developer to propose our concerns and he has progressed with his plans unchanged.

We just voted to raise our sales tax to fund greenbelt purchases (with over $200 million devoted). This is the perfect piece of land to purchase with that money. I can't believe the city is saying there is no money to purchase this land.
This plantation was left to my father upon the death of Rosemarie Seigneous and her brother contested the will just to get ahold of this land. My family would have done everything to keep this from happening.
Please stop this development as planned. It is out of character to the surrounding neighborhoods. Water runoff was a problem during hurricane Matthew. Water pored through the brick fence into the area where Portside Way and Seignious drive meet. The retention pond is inadequate.
The proposed plan is not acceptable. Of course a development should be allowed. But incorporating the character of the surrounding neighborhood(s) should be of the highest priority. Imagine the uproar if this type of plan was proposed for where the Sgt Jasper is....
This development is not consisted with the neighborhood, Traffic would be a nightmare. To date no one has addressed the possible flooding problems. We have flooding on Captiva during heavy rains and we could mirror the problems faced by Church creek because of over development.
Preserve the history and environment!
No more filled in wetlands, no more cut down trees, no more destroying our community lands and ecosystems for more $$ made building more unnecessary homes!! No more new housing.

Save this historical area of West Ashley. I have lived in this neighborhood for 20 years. The area is already a cut through when 61 traffic is bad. The extra traffic load from this development will impact safety and quality of life of current residents.
