The school district should keep the land since it was so hard to acquire in the first place. there is no need to take every piece of open space and build houses

As I walk around the neighborhood and talk to folks, I am surprised at how few people know that this proposed subdivision and high density development is in the works. I hope everyone signing this petition will make a point to contact at least 10 other people in the Township and encourage them to voice their opinion.

It is surprising to me that so many houses being built closer to Rustin then any current ones are being considered. There seems to be so many restrictions on the use of the property already (lights, speakers, no music pre-game, number of night games, band practices etc..) as compared to other schools both in and our of the district that this would seem to lead to even more restrictions in the future. Second, I am always impressed when I am over at Rustin how there is so much use by the community on the walking trails I can't comprehend why this would be reversed.

I'm not the NIMBY type, but the proposed density (as I understand it) is way too high for this area.

Westtown Township, apart from one or two notable private holdings, has next-to-no protected public open space. Sharing land with the high school, the acreage in question creates a large open area that is accessible to residents, makes possible existing nature/recreational trails, allows for native habitat and creates a natural filter to unabated rainwater runoff into the adjacent stream. This is not a private land sale but the selloff of a publicly acquired property and should be halted by Westtown's supervisors.

This would be a major mistake. The Rustin Campus is a major draw for people who live here and send teir kids to school. The property is used for races, safe places for the sports teams to run, etc. Our kids need to grow upwith open spaces. Farmer jones enhances the neighborhood by farming this land.I move here from DE County because I didn't want to livewhere there were no open spaces. This will detract from what makes this area so special.
