Rampant, unchecked development geared towards easy development money threatens to ruin our rural character and quality of life. Take that away and you're left with benign, bland urban sprawl. Most of us who lived here moved here for the quality of life, and we paid a premium for it. Milton needs to get back to gather and ban cluster housing.

My family moved to Milton because of the rural feel and excellent schools. It's understood that we cannot stop development but it is imperative that we stop the trend of sub acre development. If we continue on the same path our community will lose its character and be no different than any other suburb of Atlanta.

Milton's infrastructure can not handle more cluster housing. Hwy 9 and the back roads are already clogged with traffic and this would only add to the problem.

"Truth Will Win". You need to do your research. The minimum setbacks are the nearly the same for the Woodstock and Ebenezer subdivisions. The reason that the density is higher in Woodstock is because the City annexed the property from Cherokee County and extended sewer, just like we are doing in Milton. This is being proposed right now for the Donegal Lane rezoning. And if we are talking about false comparisons, why do the CSO proponents always refer to Serenbe in South Fulton County. That is an 1100 acre mixed use development. Totally not relevant for Milton.

I do not want cluster housing in rural Milton. If I wanted to live near cluster housing, I would move to Johns Creek or Alpharetta.

Comparing Milton to Woodstock is a false comparison. The zoning which regulates overall density is completely different. This would never happen in Milton. But please don't tell the truth about it. It would blow the story you're trying to scare people with.

Cluster housing, community septic systems and new sewer extension in Milton = increased traffic, loss of rural farmland and forests. Vote "No" on "Re-zonings" or Milton will see more developers strip the land just like the new 27 house development under construction across from Cambridge High School. We can't allow this to happen again where so many mature trees are cut down to build cluster houses.

I support this petition. Our infrastructure (roads, schools, etc.) simply can't handle the pace of development/density and, if we don't slow development, it will dramatically change the character of the area.

Milton is a hidden gem! We moved here so our kids could have a nice backyard to play in, to attend great schools, a piece of mind from the hustle and bustle of everyday traffic and so much more. Now these council members who voted for these Cluster Homes are trying to take all this away. We need to replace these council members who voted for these cluster homes!

Community septic systems do not benefit current Milton residents in any way. I noticed that the majority of those in favor of this at the city council meeting were not even Milton residents, but instead septic companies, developers, etc. We will soon look like the east side of 400 and that is not what we signed up for when we choose Milton as our home. Nothing about this idea is attractive or beneficial to Milton residents and that is very easy to see.

The reason people move here and are willing to pay the taxes is to have space and fill like they have a little hidden piece of country that's close to the city!!
