Moratorium is absolutely necessary until an intelligent comprehensive development plan conducive to quality of lifef in Lexington County/Chapin is developed and in place. Major traffic back-ups and numerous traffic accidents which are the norm here are not acceptable. This is just ONE of the problems the present conditions are causing.

I support the moratorium. We need solid impact studies and infrastructure planning.

We need slow/steady growth with planned outcome for smart development.

I object to clear cutting property and houses built too closely together. Developers should pay impact fees before building subdivisions so that infrastructure such as roads, schools, police and fire departments can be expanded to accommodate growth.

I had to pay for our well for water. I had to pay for our sewer system. I had to pay for our driveway to our single family dwelling. Why should I have to pay for neighborhoods?

I support the real estate development moratorium in Lexington County, SC. until infrastructure improvements are completed to support the population increase.

Growth must be managed much better. The infrastructure needs to be addressed before more growth is permitted

Current growth will continue to stress our roads and schools. We need to pause and prepare the county for the future growth.

Work on infrastructure (roads) while slowing the number of permits issued. Traffic is already a nightmare in and around Lexington and is only going to get worse.

Development is, of course, always a good thing provided it doesn’t outrun what a county can handle i.e. traffic, infrastructure, roads etc. Limitations must be considered to protect the integrity of the area in question!

I fully support the moratorium on approval of large scale subdivisions in Lexington County. I commuted to Lexington 30 years ago for two years. At that time, there was talk of a bypass due to substantial traffic. Thirty years later, I have moved to Lexington. There is still no bypass, roads are in terrible condition and traffic is not only congested but is becoming more dangerous. Lexington needs committed leaders who have a vision for a thriving, well-planned city. This moratorium is a step in the right direction.

Roads (as they are) can not keep up with the continued rapid growth in Lexington County. Fully support the moratorium until a true solution can be found by county council to address the growth in the county.

Traffic is out of control. Until we can get the roads widened and add additional roads, the subdivision development must stop

We have confederate grave sites that have been disturbed in 52 acres of near woods that developers want to clear cut and place 4 homes per acre. Clear cutting trees removes bird habitat and insects thrive, Water run off changes the contours of yards and gardens. Traffic is increasingly a factor in planning how to get anywhere on time. Controls on development need to be agreed upon so as to do the most good for the most citizens.

We have way more cars than the roads can support. Traffic is becoming a negative selling point in Lexington. More infrastructure is needed.
