This intersection is hardly the right place for the traffic this application will generate. I am not against development, just not the right spot. It's sad to see all of the homes for sale in this area due to this application.

We moved from Staten Island last year for many reasons, including the bucolic setting in the Chapel Hill section, which is where we bought our house. To drive down Kings Highway East and Chapel Hill is a stress reliever! Once building is started the animals living on that property are going to have to venture away from there for food into the surrounding neighborhoods, affecting homeowners and their property. We think that a "green" solution to this is to find a building that already exists and possibly expand onto that would be more viable. We sincerely hope that this does not come to fruition!

Advancing is great but at what and who's expense, traffic clutter,animals displaced, dramatic view gone. AND TO TOP IT OFF WE THE MIDDLETOWN TAXPAYERS PAY FOR THE TAX BASE THAT THEY BENEFIT FROM!!!! It is time to say NO to this and any other ideas that place the burden of taxes on young and senior home owners.

Does anybody know the facts?? The land has already been approved for 19 homes of which 5% MUST be dedicated to low income housing. Consider the whole process if this occurs. There will be construction for years and years to come. Major components of Trinity Hall will be completed in 18 months. Traffic? This is a small school. Yes a handful of buses in and out twice a day for less than 60% of the year. Come on... Everyone talks about advancing education and improving opportunities and options for our children. But if there is any possibility that they may be inconvenienced in even the slightest of ways, they change their tune. Sounds like Hollywood to me. Trinity Hall is providing an alternative for young women in Monmouth county and at the same time leaving behind social pressures and distractions that come with every other school available to them right now. All against should really re-consider. This land is going to be developed either way. Choose your option!

Who's determining what a "well thought out campus" consists of? Because if this project was well thought out, it would not be in Chapel Hill. In addition, shouldn't a school that will be attracting students from Monmouth county and surrounding counties be located closer to the GSP? To get to Chapel Hill from any exit will require a minimum 15 additional minutes for anyone traveling on the parkway. Those folks behind Trinity Hall who want a sister campus to Christian Brothers should keep in mind that CBA opened in 1959. It's not 1959 anymore; Middletown's landscape has changed, the population has drastically increased and land use and development in the Chapel Hill area of Middletown is at maximum capacity. While creating a collegiate, bucolic feel in a shiny, new high school campus is a wonderful ideal, honest consideration of the land, the people, the animals, and the landscape of this area today will lead any right thinking person to leave the setting alone. Putting a copy of a campus from the 60s and 70s in Chapel Hill is ridiculous in 2014.

Chapel Hill Road is just not the place for this size of a school. It is already dangerous to travel on that road and with more cars/traffic the danger will be even worse!

I have been a resident and property owner in Middletown Township for almost fifty years. If this property must be sold and developed, the only appropriate use is single home construction. The wetlands must not be destroyed. The school will add dangerous traffic to an infrastructure that is already overwhelmed by traffic and speeding vehicles.

there are so many other great locations that would welcome this project. our beautiful chapel hill area is not one of them.

Those of us that have lived in the neighborhood for many years, are welll aware of the impact this proposed school will have on traffic, the wetlands and the natural landscape. I am curious why there is a need to subdivide this parcel and what could be coming next.

building a school on the farm land would be very detrimental not only for environmental reasons the traffic would be horrific use one of the AT n T buildings that have been empty for years

One major reason besides the obvious one being the wetlands and wildlife that lives on this beautiful piece of Middletown property but the traffic nighmare that will be created at both ends of Chapel Hill Rd.

The open space is vital to our wildlife, so much of their habitat has already been taken away by developement.

Why change the beautiful scenery of NJ farm lands any more than they already have over the years? Put a school in the Pathmark shopping center on Hwy 35 in Middletown

This is not an area that should have school of this size, we need to preserve our farm lands and trees
