OPPOSE 200 Apartments @ Evans Farm Apartment Complex

The Millville comprehensive plan from 2019 indicates that enough moderate-income housing exists in this area. Why would this not be respected?

Bay Forest is a nationally recognized, award winning community that the County can be really proud of as a huge achievement for Ocean View. I urge the decision makers to not only recognize the importance of preserving Bay Forest, but to not proceed with the Evans Farm development given the environmental impact and the lack of infrastructure that will negatively impact our community.

Stop!

Unbridled development must stop in Sussex County before it loses it's attractive charm.

No.

Multi-family housing is inappropriate in this location.

Too much congestion already. Not enough infrastructure

We do NOT need affordable housing here.

This out of control development must stop!

Stop the Evans Farm apartments project. This area cannot handle the overcrowded highways and traffic as it is..

Too many cars will be involved in traffic on Old Mill Rd heading to route 26. During summer time Getting onto route 26 at the intersection of Old Mill and 26 will be impossible. The traffic light will back cars up on Old Mill. There is a dangerous Area in the road in which pedestrian traffic is dangerous. A smaller single family development is a better choice for that property with less cars involved.

The traffic will be terrible with 200 additional apartments.

As a VP of a Property Management Corp, I personally know there is a place for affordable housing. In a beach resort area is NOT the place.

Oppose

I vehemently oppose the Evans Farm site for multiple dwellings. This type of urban development should not be located in our rural environment due to lack of infrastructure, services and schools. The possibility of future increases in taxes on the local communities could become burdensome to the resident who have moved her to reduce their tax expenditures. Apartments also bring more transients into the area leading to fluctuations in demographics and related issues including over-development, flooding, drainage, water quality, road safety road conditions and environmental impact. Ocean View residents can't even get down to the beach due to the traffic on the weekends. The planning board must consider all of these issues.

I oppose the building on Evans Farm the way it is proposed now.

I strongly oppose this development as it will degrade Our quality of life in the immediate area and the nearby already fragile eco systems of whites creek and the indian river

The surrounding roads cannot accommodate the increase in traffic, therefore I am opposed to this development.

We live in Bethany Bay. We have had to live with many bad design issues and poor construction from Pettinaro. I think it is just terrible he would do this to all the residents of Bethany Bay community that purchased from him.

I am a property owner in Bay Forest. My property backs up to the Evan’s farm property. Whenever there is a significant rainfall the Evans farm property becomes a pond with approximately 1 acre of water gathering. This water does not drain off. It only evaporates over time. I oppose the development of this land primarily due to the lack of engineering required to obtain proper drainage of the property. Once this land is developed, the water drain off situation will adversely impact our community and more specifically my property which can barely absorb moderate rainfall’s. Additionally, I object to the procedure that the developer has followed in the development of this property. Specifically he has applied the old bait and switch routine whereas it was originally going to be condominiums and now they want to convert over to high density apartment buildings Which are inappropriate for this neighborhood. The water drainage situation and road safety issues need to be addressed before any approval is given to move forward with this development.
