I oppose cluster housing in un-sewered areas of Milton. (Milton residents only)
In signing this petition, I am:
- opposing any zoning changes, variances, or other methods that result in homes on less than one acre in un-sewered areas.
- opposing any zoning changes or variances that accelerate development.
- opposing community septic.
- opposing any and all sewer extensions beyond areas where sewer is already permitted.
- calling for reforms needed to make the zoning process citizen-centric.
- advocating for sensible enhancements to current AG-1 zoning to preserve Milton’s rural character.
- expressing my dissatisfaction with the influence of Special Interests in Milton.
- advocating for clean, competent, courageous and citizen-centric government.
- pledging to vote in elections against any Council Member that does not uphold the principles of this petition.

Note: The photo above is from the parcel across from Cambridge High School. There are 27 town homes being built. The parcel from rezoned from AG-1 to a higher density zoning that resulted in 3 time more homes being built here than would have been built under AG-1.

I never imagined this many neighbors would step up to protect our rural character when I first put this online. This milestone belongs entirely to you and your commitment to preserving the home we love.

I am honestly overwhelmed by the momentum we have built together. This progress belongs entirely to the residents who chose to speak up for our landscape. I never imagined so many people shared these same concerns about our town.

I really never expected to see this many neighbors come together to protect our land. It genuinely humbles me that so many of you care enough to speak up. If you could possibly get this in front of just one more person in town, we might finally hit that first major milestone.

Enough with high density AND clear cutting. We have a beautiful community that our infrastructure is straining to support. The risk of future problems with community septic and high density housing far outweighs any benefits being touted.
It's all about property tax revenue. The city gets more tax money if there are more houses to tax. Shame on them for destroying our quality of life. The schools are already too crowded, the traffic is unbearable -- even in the middle of the morning.
We moved from South Forysth recently to escape the high density building boom. We more than doubled our taxes and home value to accomplish this. Stop the greed, build in Forysth keep it out of Milton. Or my vote will reflect my displeasure.
Milton's character and rural feel we're both major factors in our choice to make this our new home during our relocation last year from the Northeast. Please preserve the quality of life here in Milton and stop the development of cluster housing!
Houses on less than an acre should NOT be allowed in Milton and community sewer should not be allowed either, as it is simply a vehicle to allow for cluster homes on less than an acre. I call on the City Council to STOP trying to change the zoning.
Let's vote to eliminate this issue for years to come. Charge insanely high fees to builders that want to change the landscape of Milton just to line their pockets. Put restrictions on city council member that they are not eligible to profit from their votes.
ONE ACRE LOTS ONLY!!!! How many times does this have to be repeated!!!!!

The ONLY party to gain a benefit from the proposed variances is the builder. Further it sets an irreversible precedent allowing additional similar developments that are unnecessary and out of scope with the established character of Milton.
