The county commission finally backed down and forced the developer to increase those lot sizes. David Thompson and the board realized we were not going to let them poison our wetlands with eighty-two septic systems. Enjoy this win because we earned it but keep your eyes on that construction site.

David Thompson and these commissioners are banking on us giving up while they pave over our wetlands for profit. We need to hit 250 signatures to force them to look at our demands before they finalize this reckless subdivision plan. Send this link to five people right now because our creek cannot wait for another board meeting.

The zoning is established for a reason. Deep pockets shouldn’t be able to amend it strictly for profit.

This is an absolute travesty of development, encroaching on the majesty of God and nature, I have heard that a rare, protected frog calls this wetland home.

I am located directly behind this lot and do not want all the noise and pollution that would come with this many lots. Increase the size to 5-7 acre lots or more.

I do not want to look out my front door and see the entrance to an ugly subdivision. Developer need to be required to have at least a 30 foot setback bermed and landscaped and very nice entryway. And this is way to many lots. Needs to leave a significant amount of greenspace and larger lot sizes.

Shoal Creek and Clarence Odum is already a dangerous intersection. Adding another 164 cars minimum to this intersection is very dangerous for everyone.

I love my rural area. It'll affect our way of rural living such as farming if they build this subdivision
