At a recent Town Board meeting there was a Public Hearing held to consider changing the Zoning Classification of parcel 015.-01-13.0 from R4 to R1. This parcel is located to the east of the Waves property at the intersection of Warners Road and Bennet Road. The R-4 District is designed to accommodate single-family detached dwellings as well as higher density multiple-family buildings. The R-1 District is designed to accommodate the least intensive category of single-family residential use.
I am not opposed to growth in the 2nd Ward but I do have concerns with potential development in this particular area in regards to increased traffic, the necessity of a second access road, the absence of sewer infrastructure and the lack of communication with the neighborhood in regards to the proposal. Furthermore, after discussions with the residents in the area, they expressed similar concerns. With this support we were able to change the zoning from R4 to R1. If any development is proposed in the future for this parcel it will be the least intensive, single-family homes only. I appreciate the community support in helping shape the future of your neighborhood.
