Preserve rural Milton is a sham organization. One acre zoning should be preserved

I am 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. And pledging to vote in elections against any Council Member that does not uphold the principles of this petition

I was originally in favor of this idea but now I am 100% opposed. AG-1 has always meant 1 home maximum per acre. It will be unfair to property neighbors who bought land will the understanding that the neighboring property will remain 1 home per acre. This will open up much more property to cheaper and easier development thereby increasing density in Milton.

It is time for the City of Milton to put a stop to the constant high density housing requests by builders looking to turn our quaint city into a cluster of cookie cutter homes.

This is an end run by another developer who spouts platitudes, cares nothing for Milton. And it looks like members of Council are providing the blocking

Come on guys, do the right thing on this. Look around, you know what Milton is going to look like 3-5 years from now if you don't step up and protect the land that's left.

One of the reasons my family moved here 8 years ago was the green space Milton offered. To date we have seen 5 major farms turned into subdivisions. Heartbreaking and taxing to the current infrastructure.

One of the main reasons why my family bought a home in Milton was because of the current residential zoning which gives us a rural feel. This rezoning has the potential to eventually destroy that rural feel.

I am president of Country Ridge HOA a community located off south Thompson road. I sign this petition on behalf of our 26 homeowners with concerns about the future look of Milton and broken promises that were given at the time of voting for the creation of our city. We do NOT want to be another Apharetta with its conjested over built look. We want the uniqueness of our city to remain with its tranquility. I have written the Mayor in the past against this rezoning and appreciate his veto showing he understands the ramifications of high density development and broken promises that the board voted three to two at the last meeting.

As a new resident to Milton I am against cluster housing. We moved from Smyrna where Cluster housing is the norm and a huge reason we chose Milton was there was no evidence of cluster housing present. There is something much more beautiful about driving scenic farm roads that bring a sense of safety, love, and security that will be lacking with large cluster home communities. Please preserve Milton!

I completely agree with the petition. How many times do we Milton residents have to say No. I think our wishes are pretty clear on keeping the rural feel to Milton.
