Development by Napolitano on Mallory Farm will negate all reasons that we have for living in a peaceful, rural and natural environment. My family came to this County very early in the 1800's. We moved here from Colorado to enjoy the quiet farming community. Often I travel the James River Bridge to visit family on the other side. Have any of the developers considered how 1100 plus new homes will impact that traffic? Not only will Nike, Battery Park, Titus, Reynolds and rt. 17 be in need of widening but down the road a new bridge will be needed. Who wants to live in such surroundings. Development may drive existing home owners out of Isle of Wig;ht. Consider the time it has taken to build the bike path--when will new roads appear? I came over the 2-lane bridge to visit family many years ago. It breaks my heart to see the changes--not all desirable. Please do not let this development expand. jlm

We do not have the infrastructure to support all these houses taking down every last tree and blade of grass out in our community. Enough is enough. Do not approve this.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. INCREASED TRAFFIC A PROBLEM. WILDLIFE DECREASE AND NOISE/CRIMINAL ACTIVITY

This tract was previously approved for 250 homes, which would have been a stretch given the two-lane roadways and tiny intersections, but it could have worked out - maybe. It would have been comparable to nearby Smithfield Forest, Villas, and Wellington Estates. which are also served by the same roadway infrastructure. I live on the other side of the marsh from the Napolitano property, and have a 'no-build' wilderness buffer zone adjacent to the creek and marsh. Having an apartment building, or ten-plex as it is being marketed as, across the marsh from my and my neighbors single family properties is not why we chose this quiet nearly-rural location in Smithfield. Whoever is in charge of Napolitano needs to back off this insanity and get back to the 250 home design that was originally proposed. Buying the property on speculation and having to put off building on it for 15 years does not give Napolitano the right to push this disaster of a plan on residents who moved here to escape the overbuilt communities like Virginia Beach and Hampton or Newport News. The elected Smithfield and Isle of Wight officials need to quash this gross overreach by a developer who seeks to maximize their original investment at the cost of adjacent homeowners and residents! Do not approve this expansion beyond the 250 home 2005 plan.

IOW like Suffolk, needs to get a better, more citizen-centric approach to enabling development. Present methodologies of both local governments enable wholesale destruction of the local wildlife, its natural environment, and the charm of the communities into which they encroach.

23430. Infrastructure, Schools & a Hospital need to be in place before any expansion. No putting the cart before the horse.

Already too much traffic around here and that neighborhood will mess with drainage which is already a problem.
Please do not approve any of this nonsense
