I oppose the large scale proposed development of Winnapaug Golf Course

I say NO to developing Winnapaug Golf Course with condos or homes. Leave the green space for nature.

This proposal goes against all discussions and agreements last year and throws the comprehensive plan in the face of the town council.

Westerly is highly developed and has little green space. Please do not change this zoning and allow more development. We need to preserve and protect the open space resources we have now.

There is a reason why people are attracted to Westerly, and it is that very reason that is being destroyed forever by overdevelopment. Let’s stop it now before it is too late. I recently saw a plane dragging a sign for a “Hampton’s Master” real estate firm, that obviously has it’s eyes set on Westerly. People who live in the Hamptons are miserable because of overdevelopment. This real estate company has clearly exhausted it’s ability to sell in the Hamptons, and is looking for its next conquest. Let’s put a stop all of this behavior before the magic is lost.

This massive undertaking will take away much natural beauty and green space that makes our town unique. People come here not for more hustle and bustle but to take a deep breath and breathe.

The town should not allow this to move forward on any level. The place is a mess and a sign of the bigger mess to follow.

my family owns and greatly loves 213 shore rd. This project would be terrible for the greater town and especially the adjoining community. Please Have the courage to say no to. thank you, Fred Bisbee.

The proposal involves putting a great deal of new infrastructure (housing and lodging of numerous kinds, each with their own plumbing, sewage, traffic, and waste disposal burden) very close to a fragile salt pond and marsh ecosystem that the community and state have worked tirelessly – and at great expense – to restore and protect. The green space along Shore Road is a haven to deer, foxes, shorebirds, songbirds, birds of prey, even bobcats. Increased traffic, pollution, light pollution, noise pollution and more for yet another golf course will do nothing for the residents and the environment and plenty for the few people who want to do business in this presently airy, open space. If this phase is green lit, who knows where this project will stop.

Planning board in this town is in the pocket of the developers and their attorneys. They are turning Westerly into another Warwick.. traffic and parking lots. Their action need to be remembered when the Council re-elections occur. The position of those people needs to be know and they have to be up front with their constituents

WE MUST NOT LET THIS HAPPEN. It's inherently a beautiful golf course and property that has been mismanaged and abused most likely because of the end game strategy to develop it. Let's deny the ugly plan and hope someone who loves the course, will take it over reimagine it, and fix it up to its full potential.

The unusual jewel of a water’s edge public golf course provides irreplaceable, critically needed open land and a protective buffer against pollution runoff, magnificent views and affordable golf we would be dismayed to see lost. Please go to all lengths in updating the Comprehensive Plan to preserve the sanctity of this unique treasure.
