Given the already deteriorating infrastructure in this area this proposal will only further stress and already overstressed area.

I firmly disagree with the proposal to build 200 apartment units. Not to mention my frustration at the total lack of info.( ie.how many buldings quantity 2- 3 bedroom apts. and costs to live there that will likely be beyond supporting locals being displaced from limited affordable housing. I implore your board and Ocean View to STOPacontinuous out of control building of housing in a stressed traffic situation on 26 where all the resources for living are located. This a resort area and already carries the burdens and hardships of thousands of cars and visitors May through August. HAULT approval of anymore development "communities" . WAIT and see the impact of over 1000 homes approved to be built , many 3-5 bedrooms. Wait a year after completion for residents to move here and live through the density living of the area of Millville, Ocean View and Dagsboro for one year. Lets experience the density and conditions being created by greedy builders taking advantage of the DE tax breaks, urban flight from the pandemic from as far away as Virginia to New York. THEN I dare you to take a survey of the three community towns if there needs and quality of life were considered overt the tax revenues and bankrolls of those involved in this raping of the land nature and stealing the true community of people .

I live in a development further down off Railway Road so I use Railway daily and this will be an absolute nightmare to have to deal with traffic from 200 apartments on this road.

Will put 200 to 350 more vehicles in this small community. This will help to destroy an already failing infrastructure and chase wildlife into the surrounding developments. I already have deer in my front yard. Drives my dog crazy. Ocean View and Millville are having our quality of live taking away by over population.

This absolutely the worst idea for this area. Congestion of roads which can turn into a nightmare. Please listen to us. Just say NO.

I OPPOSE THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT-THE LOCAL TWO LANE ROADS CANNOT HANDLE ALL THE TRAFFIC NOW. ADDING A TURNING LANE ON ATLANTIC AVE DID NOTHING TO CURE THE PROBLEM. CAN OUR PRESENT SEWER SYSYEM HANDLE ALL THE NEW PEOPLE AT ONE LOCATION?.

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

I am strongly opposed to this project. It is not appropriate for the area that it is planned for and does not take into account the growth of the surrounding area and its effect on local traffic.

Dear Sussex County Leaders:
We are for environmentally friendly and responsible land use growth for development in Sussex County and in particular to the proposed Evans Farm development in Ocean View. With all the dense and cluster housing taking place in the greater Ocean View/Bethan Beach area and throughout Sussex County, we ask the council to deny this multi family living development application. It is requested that one be resubmitted that will have less impact on the fragile environment and the surrounding communities resources that ultimately be impacted by the approval of such a development. in Ocean View.
We appreciate you for taking time to consider my request and we thank you for your service.
Respectfully submitted,
FJ Cruice

This development is totally out of character for the Ocean View area. In addition it will cause severe stress to the infrastructure in terms of public safety due to the impact of traffic on a narrow road used by pedestrians and bicyclers.

Railway Road is a small unkept road. When Bethany Bay went in, we were promised a new and better kept road. That didn’t happen and people fly in and out of that community. I lived on Railway and was the 3rd house from the end. It got worse and worse. The road is no longer safe and there’s no policing of the speeders. Adding more homes will only exacerbate the already horrid situation there. These roads cannot handle it. And I’m certain you won’t find one soul in favor of this except those who will profit off it and don’t live nearby.

This proposed development does not fit in with the existing neighborhoods for a variety of reasons. We hope you take all this in consideration and deny this development.
