A 532-unit housing complex near Union Lake?
Last Thursday night I attended the Millville Planning Board meeting. City Engineer John Knoop stated that Millville may not be ready for the new residents and the sprawl. YIKES!! Shelly Schneider,spoke and said that only 3 to 4 buses would be at the proposed school location near Woodland Shores since most kids would walk. She said a NEW high school is the #1 on the list and any school built near the lake would be at LEAST 10 years away. Earlier one of the School Board Members Michael Beatty spoke and said the land would be a good location for a school, but that potential project is low on the district's list of building priorities. Most of the neighbors complained about how traffic on Sharp is going to be even WORSE then is already is now. A person came up with absurd notion to say its ok to build if there is NO access to it. (helicopter access anyone? ) That would be a good image to sketch. Anyone who draws a sketch please let me know and I will put on this blog!!! Some said they did not want "AFFORDABLE HOUSING". One of the planning board members (thankfully) asked Kim Warker to define what "affordable housing" is. Dave McCann made a very factual presentation that had numbers and quoted regs that would limit the scope of the development. The planning board is to work with the city staff and reps from the Developer. The Planning Board may announce the date for a work session to discuss traffic issues on the Matzel and Mumford housing proposal near Union lake at its next meeting at City hall at 12 S. High St. March 10 at 7:30 p.m. Here is a recent article I saw in the AC Press
