There has to be a consideration for the humanity growth aspect of the Millville area.  I am against building apartments or any more building in the Millville area. Overbuilding: With extensive overbuilding, deficient roads, lack of traffic management, lack of water/drainage management, and lack of safe sidewalks, bringing 1000+ new individuals into such an environmentally fragile area is irresponsible and will severely impact those who live in this Millville area already.  There are plenty of surrounding areas which large tracts of land to build the infrastructure to accommodate such an increase in humanity. 50 acres in Millville is extremely small for 1000+ people plus 400+ vehicles. Emergency Services: Additionally, it is very common that dense communities not only bring traffic, but they have higher emergency call volumes. It is the nature of many people in very little space. Millville does not have a Police Department so its the State Police who have to support the area. Also, the Millville Fire Department, who serves our community very well, has been overwhelmed with the residential buildup, even expanding their operation. The challenge is the services may diminish due to lack of human and financial resources. These women and men do a great job and as volunteers, we want to be sure we support them 100%. We need to think of these volunteers when we are building more dwellings. Jobs: There aren't enough year-round jobs to accommodate year-round tenants.  Many stores and restaurants close in the winter due to lack of consumers in the off-season. Therefore, providing a year-round apartment rental option is creating more opportunities for failure of those seeking year-round resort area jobs. They just don't exist.  Therefore, to increase occupancy during an economic downturn, the apartments costs will stay the same however, to reduce vacancy, the rent will have to be reduced, thus reducing the overall funding and profit models that the owners of any buil

The current infrastructure does not support this project.

It seems that there would not be any way possible to widen any of the roads leading in or out of this area ! They would have to take people property away to So !

Please consider the full environmental and traffic impact studies before approving. Our roads are all ready overcrowded.

This will be a disaster to our community. Overloading resources and especially our roads.

Evans Farm Apartments are being built by Linder and Company of 234 N James Street, Newport, DE and will be managed by Pettinaro Residential, LLC of the same address. For those of us who lived through the Pettinaro nightmare here in Bethany Bay, that is a combination that should cause us great concern. Bethany Bay property adjoins the Evans Farm property at a most vulnerable spot. Take note and oppose Evans Farm Apartments.

Over development is hurting our area in so many ways. It's irresponsible! Our current infrastructure can not handle it. Please deny this application.

There is no need for rental units and multi-family housing of this magnitude in an already overburdened, swollen with land-use area. Our natural resources are being destroyed, depleted and severely damaged by flooding and environmental damage already done. We do not have adequate access to public services (police, ambulance and businesses). Roads cannot be widened and the lives of what little land exists for wildlife are being closed off and literally extinguished, leaving wildlife no place to go, causing more vehicular accidents and property damage. Growth in Sussex in double that of neighboring counties and we do not have proper drainage in this area. Approve this and you will destroy and cause irreparable damage to homes, surrounding land, roads and value of all neighboring single family residential communities.

Overbuilding, overcrowding without any thought to infrastructure and adverse effects to the surrounding communities.

Over development will ruin this area. There is almost no area in eastern Sussex that isn'toverwhelmed by traffic. Please deny this application.

I am very opposed to this project. This area is already overcrowded. The impact to the environment and roads will strain the already burdened infrastructure. We must stop overdeveloping our area.

Environmental issues, storm water runoff, and high-density housing are major issues. Traffic impact studies need to be updated.
