The county has officially denied the application for the Evans Farm project and I am genuinely overwhelmed by how this turned out. This outcome belongs entirely to the 843 of you who spoke up to protect our neighborhood. We should stay alert to future proposals but for now please take …

The following is a list of Sussex County Delaware property owners and residents that oppose the current Linder & Co. / Pettinaro application # CU-2206 to allow the Conditional Use of that parcel of land located at the N/E corner of Old Mill Road and the south side of Railway Road located in Ocean View Delaware and permit the development of 200 multi-family living units. The undersigned will be adversely affected and irreparably harmed by allowing this development that fails to protect and will harm the safety, convenience ,order, prosperity and welfare of the present and future owners and residents of the surrounding communities as well as the greater population of Sussex county.

It should be understood that all of those signing this petition firmly request that this application # CU-2206 be denied.

I honestly never imagined five hundred people would join in on this effort so quickly. Seeing this many neighbors come together is entirely due to you and your commitment to our community. I am truly humbled by the response.

Traffic, no sidewalks, flood prone, doesn’t fit the existing neighborhoods, no public transportation. Schools already overburdened. Drain on Government services. Very little police presence in the area. Those are just a few reasons.

We have lived at 2304 Harbor Drive for 15 years and have watched development overwhelm all services. Stop this now. Also, Linder Construction is deplorable. We know, we lived in mold, mildew and misery until we totally rebuilt our builidng.

Enough is enough! It takes 20 minutes to make a left turn onto 26 from Old Mill Rd. between May 15th and September 30th. Clubhouse Rd and Railway are just as bad. And the ugly garages backing up to the street further destroy the areas aesthetics.

The proposed development does not fit with the nature of the surrounding neighborhoods. It will create traffic issues overburdening local roads. And, it will increase water remediation issues to the detriment of neighboring properties.

I am opposed to the addition of 200 units. I am concerned that walk ability and access to goods and services and the burden on our public safety (fire, EMS and police) and importantly our school system. I encourage you to vote no to the Evans Farm development

We already have a dangerous road without a shoulder. Bay Forest community values our wetlands and wildlife. The reputation of this builder is the opposite. Keep our wildlife and walkers/ bikers safe. Don’t let this development happen.

Way too many buildings. Concern about stormwater management. Traffic safety. Tenants must not be allowed to sublease.
