Following are some photos taken from the 27-unit townhouse development across from Cambridge High School.  This development is Exhibit A in how terribly wrong we can get rezoning in Milton.  Sewer was extended and density was increased by 3 times.  The rezoning approval motion was made by Bill Lusk and seconded by Matt Kunz.  (Don’t let anyone tell you that the person that makes the first and second motions on important issues does not matter; it does.)  At the time, Council Member Kunz even bragged to the Milton Herald about the townhouses:

“We approved the subdivision with an additional 25 feet of buffer space not required by Agricultural-1 (AG-1) regulations, making it a total of 75 feet of space, and also capped the sewer.  About half of the land will now be left as undeveloped, natural land.”

And don’t let anyone tell you that the choice was between a church and townhouses.  This is false.  This property was zoned AG-1 and should have been developed AG-1.  An AG-1 development would have yielded no more than 9 homes and would have better fit the look and feel of the area.  And as we have seen so many times, in approving this development, Council disregarded the recommendations of the Planning Commission, which voted 7-0 to deny this abomination.

This is just more evidence–as if you needed more–that Mr. Lusk and Mr. Kunz are the most pro-development members of Council.

Where is the supposed 75-foot buffer?
