I live in the historic district and abide by the many 'rules' to keep the integrity of our beautiful town center. Re-zoning to commercial use should not be allowed, we already have designated areas for commercial use to build a medical office park.

I would consider moving if this were to happen. My family bikes and rides scooters along these sidewalks and roads and we could no longer do that. Preserving a historic location is of utmost importance and we should respect history and uphold the dignity of our town. There are enough towns and enough land owners that have “sold out” in sussex county and we have all seen the toll it has taken on our infrastructure. Let’s not aid the ruin of our beautiful, safe, downtown area.

Phoenix RHCS Holdings is based out of PA and has no business developing on Milton, DE land. We live directly across the street from the property in question and have kids that will be walking to school when summer is over and bike around town to friends’ houses on a daily basis. We strongly believe that the safety of kids biking/ walking and integrity of the town will be compromised if this passes. Please keep the people of Milton and the best interest of the town at the forefront of this decision. It will be noisy, disruptive, and does not fit the historic charm of the town. We strongly say ‘no’ to rezoning for this medical park.

I live on 501 union St. A Historic house Across from the field where the rezoning is proposed. Please do not destroy the historic charm of Milton.

Please put this office park outside town limits and maintain the quaint small town vibe that Milton is so loved for

Increased traffic near the Milton school is a danger to the students and families who walk on Willow Street and Mulberry Street. Project not congruent with the residential neighborhood. There is plenty of land on Rt.16 that can be utilized for a major project like is being proposed.

I live at 502 Union Street. This project would have a negative influence on my quality of life.

Building huge Medical Buildings in our beautiful Historical Town of Milton would be disastrous. It would ruin the quaintness of our town and bring huge amounts of traffic, not to mention...."possibly more crime". It does not belong in the heart of our town.

I live just outside of Milton proper. Yes, we want Beebe. No, not in a residential area. Plenty of land on Rt 16 in Milton for this size facility, though.

I will be retiring in Milton soon. I care about keeping the historic integrity of the town and feel that such development should be restricted to areas already zoned for such purposes. Otherwise, what is the purpose of zoning plans?
