As long as the recreation department is satisfied, and the needs are met, that's fine with me. I understand the developer not wanting to put public recreation areas on a private site. |
Developers look at it form the stand point of their client. Do people want their water systems tied to others? They want to best serve those people buying the houses. |
I'm speaking towards the conceptual plan (that Quinlan is proposing), but I definitely think this project is something that town should pursue. There's not enough information yet, and I don't know if he can engineer proper septic systems and if it will be environmentally safe, but I think the town is doing the right thing by exploring the possibilities. |
Nothing is set in stone, but developers are seeming to build these cookie cutter sub-divisions there are not creative. There's no old New England look, like a Colonial worth $300,000 next to a bungalow or another house worth $500,000. They all look the same, and I'd like to see something different, but that's me personally. You can't blame developers trying to make a profit, and you can't stop them. Everything has to be the same because material is bought in bulk. |
