I oppose the apartment complex due to heavy flooding in the area, traffic, and the current infrastructure. This type of development is not a fit for the type of houses in this area.

Our infrastructure cannot handle this addition. Sussex County sees this as more money, so I’m sure that this request be denied. They don’t care about the welfare of the community or the people, they just care about more money.

My mom has owned the property at 31422 Railway Rd since 1978. At that time traffic was very light on this road. It was so quiet, but with every new development it has gotten heavier and heavier. We hear traffic all night long now. Vehicles don’t obey the speed limit, they fly up and down this road. Also, this property becomes a lake in som spots when it rains. What happens when there is no open ground for the water to seep into? We already have problems with flooding on our property. We don’t need another development on Railway Rd.

The surrounding infrastructure cannot sustain the influx of the existing proposal. Further, it will upset the delicate surrounding environment.

The proposed 200 apartments do not belong in an already congested single family home community. The amount of additional traffic, especially in the summer, will overwhelm our already congested area. During the summer, it consistently takes more than one traffic light cycle to turn left onto Atlantic Ave (26) off of Old Mill Road. An apartment complex, especially one as large as this, should only be permitted in close proximity to a four lane road/highway (e.g. 113) with a traffic light for the residents to access it. Furthermore, our entire area is growing rapidly with single family homes, which has already increased the demand on the schools, police, firefighters, etc.

High density, multi-family apartments would not fit the still rural character of the area in any way whatsoever. On the contrary, they would irretrievably, negatively transform it. The traffic consequences would also be significant. Old Mill Road would become a quasi-highway right in front of many a home along its way to route 26.

I strongly oppose the development of 200 apartments (i.e., a high density, multi-family development) at Evans Farm. The unique character of the area will be forever altered.

Over building in this area puts too much stress on the infrastructure that already can't handle the existing population.

We strongly oppose this large apartment complex for several reasons. It will not fit in with the character of the area and will have a negative impact on the property values of the existing communities. Traffic and safety of pedestrians and cyclists is also a major concern, as well as the impact on the area schools that are already overcrowded.

I oppose the development 100%. Traffic for an added 200 families will be a nightmare. It will put so much pressure on the medical, police and fire stations and water supply. Residents do not want this eyesore to increase our expenses and taxes. Not a good idea of an already crowded area.

Opposed to a 200 unit apartment complex this area. Name 1 apartment complex in Sussex County that has not went to Section 8 after a couple years. I roads can't handle 300+ cars along with the other 2000 single family homes being built around Millville that aren't occupied yet. There are other locations that are already zoned C-1 a little further from Millville. We need some green space around our neighborhoods and a place for wildlife.

Building apartments in that field would not only destroy the serenity of this peaceful neighborhood but would also destroy the homes of a lot of wildlife that has occupied that field for as long as I can remember. There are always large groups of deer feeding in that field. Many animals would be forced out of a home and pushed into the residential area of the community which could pose a danger to both the animals and the people and property of the community. The apartments would also create a lot more traffic coming in and out of the community. In my opinion it would create more problems for the community than it would be beneficial for us. Strongly against this project.

My property in DE will face this area. There are many natural wildlife in this section that will be affected as well as the infrastructure. We are a quiet tight community, some seasonal. The extra population and traffic will make our community not quite anymore or a peaceful getaway. We have owned our property since 1996 and do not want this building to happen. Please consider the wildlife and residents affected by wanted to profit with a large development, which really doesnt fit into this location. Please do not build and take over our community.

Too many apartments in a small inappropriate area. OK for homes only.
