OPPOSE 200 Apartments @ Evans Farm Apartment Complex

Lack of infrastructure makes this project unrealistic. Progress and change are inevitable but must be managed. Our road system cannot accommodate the present traffic let alone the proposed increase. beyond the present capacity.

My wife and I own what we hope was going to be our retirement home at 31792 Lake View Drive. We are about 2 blocks away from this proposed monster and completely agree with all the reasons why it should not be allowed to be built! Our family has owned and vacationed on the property since the late 1960's. The changes caused by all the development have not been benificial to those paying property tax but only seem to benifit those that build it, sell it then move on. We may have to rethink our retirement plans.

Traffic already VERY congested, run off on existing properties a problem,foot traffic will increase,

No no no! Too crowded already!

The infrastructure in this area is totally inadequate to handle such a project, not just in the summer,,but year round now.

There is absolutely no infrastructure in this neighborhood, or surrounding neighborhoods, to accommodate the traffic that 200+ apartments would add to this area. We came here for the quiet, not additional congestion.

Infrastructure is already inadequate to accommodate existing residents of this area. Adding additional housing, without improved infrastructure, would great incredible congestion and inconvenience for existing residents, who moved here for a quiet, uncongested life style.

There is no adequate infrastructure to handle the traffic and conditions which will develop as a result of 200 apartments. This is not in keeping with the appearance of the surrounding communities.

Building apartments allows the builder the greatest profit from land that is not zoned for it. This is not a philanthropic effort to provide housing.

If the developer would like to build high density housing he should buy land already zoned for it.

We are new to the area and decided to move here because there is space and it's not overcrowded. It's peaceful. I was surprised to hear about this proposal of 200 apartments in this residential area. It would lead to overcrowding and I am opposed to it.

Here in the surrounding area of Clarksville/Oceanview, we have built our homes within its allowable land and height restrictions. These restrictions have still given us the pleasure of green land and views that the cities we came from often did not. There are many reasons not to vote for the tall apartment complexes, the over crowding roads and the infrastructure problems, but one that I would also like to mention is that these tall apartment with garages are just blocking structures, blocking to the very views and the beauty that this area offers. Reconsider this area for your apt buildings. Leave this area for the single family properties. They can still be for the price range that you want to serve.

Our infrastructure simply cannot support more developments. The roads cannot handle the increase in traffic this will result in.

No further large scale development should be permitted in the greater Millville area until infrastructure adequate to support such development is in place. Congestion and further harm to our natural resources and wildlife habitat results without proper anticipation and reasonable prevention of the impact. Kindly turn down the application requested by Evans Farm Development Group until the needed infrastructure is established. Unbridled growth negates my reason for choosing to relocate to live in this area.

There is already too much traffic on Old Mill Road and the road is dangerous with no shoulders.

In addition to the 300-400+ extra cars on the already overcrowded Railway Road and Old Mill Road, please consider the hazards of summer employees and other residents who would walk or ride bikes on these narrow, curvy roads with no shoulders, bike lanes, sidewalks or street lights. I strongly oppose this development.

I am opposed to this project. The infrastructure in the area cannot support this type of development.

I live off Irons Lane and often travel Old Mill Rd. That road often backs up at RT 26 during the summer months and the apartments will make it much worse.

This apartment complex does not belong in a community of one and two story single family homes. In addition the project’s entrance is too close to the Railroad Rd - Old Mill Rd intersection.

STOP WAIT EVALUATE! Stop approving ordinances that steal the pockets of open land to benefit developers. Stop approving with a yes vote that the wealthy are the priority over the communities just west of Bethany Beach. WAIT to allow ALL the presently approved building of homes, some up to six bedrooms, to be completed and and then wait to have the new owners move in. (There are hundreds and hundreds of homes still to be built that Zoning has already approved. EVALUATE the over crowding effects ALL your past approvals have had for the animals that share our habitat. Now the destruction of nature not only has taken trees, coverage, and open grazing fields but has the residents of Ocean View, Millville , Cedar Neck and Dagsboro's eastern boundary competing in roads of traffic, store overcrowding, medical resources and you've left us shaking our heads whether we have any say at all! All the promises of minutes to the beach, quiet and quaint touted by the promoters ads are false and bogus as you the zoning board are blind to the effects of your vote. NOW you must say no to the rezoning and approval for 200 apartment units just half mile from Rt 26 and 3 miles to the beach. View on a satellite earth image and see the the cancerous growth you're once again asked to support by approving the 200 apartments to sprawl, litter and crowd out the pleasure of our nearby homes. EVALUATE the impact for the everyday residents near the resort town of Bethany. Balance the scales. when will your votes implode on you? When will the lure of low taxes that fuels this over building take a back seat to the priority of "quality of life" you are charged with protecting?
