The town of Moncks Corner is trying to rezone 16.8 acres of land from General Commercial to Multi-Family Residential, off of Merrimack Boulevard and Highway 52. This will make it possible for the town to build a maximum of 125 two-story townhome units. The town's Community Development Director, Doug Polen says this area would make a great location for townhomes, seeing that it is near a considerable amount of already existing multi-family housing units. This will result in even more of a traffic issue that has already been increased due to the closing of the side road beside the old Food Lion. The statement made about the area mostly being multi-family homes is also incorrect. There are over 100 single-family homes around this area including, Merrimack Boulevard, Johnny Reb Drive, Monitor Circle, Lael Court, Lacey Court, Gulledge Street, and off of White Street. Many residents of this area are already frustrated with the lack of highway maintenance, storm water runoff issues, and the lack of sidewalks and street lights. Please consider signing this petition to help Moncks Corner maintain its small town feel and keep these long time residents living in a safe and quite environment. Currently 12 acres in question act as a sound barrier from the Highway 52 overpass and the railroad track, that are also in this location.

We are already overpopulated for our infrastructure. Try turning Against traffic about 5:00pm in Moncks Corner on 52. Where is the increase in police, fire, medical, roadways. Cypress Ridge has caused water runoff to neighboring properties which is illegal and irresponsible. Developers refuse to correct the situation because Berkeley Country development and code approved their building. This is wrong in so many levels. Berkeley County Citizens need someone protecting them.
This is not right for our area. I live down the street from the proposed site. People speed down Merrimack doing at least 50 mph and I have had pedestrians come onto my property and take things. Until you can police and make safe the homes that are already here. Do not try and create more that will only create more problems.
Why do we have to destroy our small town feel here in Moncks Corner and create more traffic issues? I say no to more Townhouses
This would be a very bad idea for Moncks Corner and that area.
I’m not in Moncks proper but development without infrastructure is crazy and reckless.
Build roads/ expand them, put in proper lights, stop signs and intersections. BUILD SCHOOLS.
Against the townhomes! That road has enough traffic! Little ones will not be able to step foot in the front yard!

I live on Gulledge and people already act like it is a racetrack. Cars always speeding up and down this road where children play. More traffic through here is not needed. And more townhomes are not needed. The more things are built, the more moncks corner will lose the name "lowcountry's hometown". We do not need to be another Summerville or Goose Creek. Roads and schools are already overflowing. Let's not add to the chaos
