I am against cluster building and community septic. My family and I can from a similar type of septic system and it causes so many underlying problems such as positive pressure within septic lines as well as costly factor of maintaining grinder pumps within your home. I plead for our elected officials to think about those who are currently a part of the Milton community and listen to what the community thinks is best.

When I voted in favor of creating the city of Milton I was also voting AGAINST the exact tactics the city council is using in favoring big developers and deep pockets over my HOME.

The traffic around here is bad enough that we do not need to cram in more people in high density developments.

We all moved here for the quality of life and cluster housing will yield the mess that they have in John's Creek. Do the right thing and turn this down once and for all.

I fought for Milton, and lived here TWICE, because of the beautiful, rural, equestrian uniqueness of this community. One house, one acre, one community. Please do not ruin what so many have dreamed of, fought and worked for.

National publicly traded developers do not care about community impact rather how many economical (poorly built) units can be slammed onto an acre to maximize profits.

There is a for sale sign on Bethany at Mayfield Rd that says it all:
'FOR SALE DEVELOPERS ONLY"
If we sit back and remain quite this will become a common site in front yards all over Milton. That cute little ranch house just around the corner could have 2-5 homes sharing a single septic tank. Who will be responsible for making sure the common septic is up to code?Several years after construction will it be leaching its contents into your property? Will the City of Milton create a new Septic Compliance Department to protect the environment and Milton's property owners? Just say no, now and when you vote in the next election for Mayor and City Council seats.

The desirability of this area is its unique characteristic of larger lots. Additionally we just don't need more traffic. The building in Cherokee is going to be a monumental problem here without the added housing and density that this development would create and cause further similar development. Keep Milton RURAL! That's why we all choose to be here!

I'm completely opposed to so labeled conservation subdivisions and cluster housing for Milton. You would think our City Council Members would be against this if they are the voice of Milton and what it stands for! Who does this "faux conservation" benefit? Builders? Special interest groups? Certainly not the citizens of Milton who moved here for its rural integrity!! And... doesn't this violate the Comprehensive Land Use Plan?

This is not the right way to try and preserve rural Milton. Milton does not want cluster homes even if it saves a few acres of green space in the back of the neighborhood. Approval of this is opens the City of Milton to risks that are not worth the small concession of open space from the builder. I hope the council members will listen to the citizens and vote against this rezoning, especially since their own planning board also opposed it. We want to preserve Milton but not by possibly sacrificing our home values....too risky. Let's stop arguing about cluster housing and instead get the community together and educate them on the costs to put together a bond initiative that could successfully accomplish preserving the open space in Milton. I believe most residents would much rather support a bond then possibly see their home values be affected.
Keep Milton's character!
