WPCA considering sewers in ND
One small line excerpted from the WPCA article in this week's Herald:
A sewer line would also cross the Ten Mile River on the site under a proposed Timber Bridge that would service vehicular, as well as pedestrian, traffic. (by Josh Morgan)
My suggestion... don't allow residential on the northwest side of the river. If the project is to proceed, place a conservation easement on that property and either stop or stack the residential (above the retail).

I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY PRETTY COUNTRYSIDE
HAD BEEN PAVED DOWN THE MIDDLE
BY A GOVERNMENT THAT HAD NO PRIDE
THE FARMS OF OHIO
HAD BEEN REPLACED BY SHOPPING MALLS
AND MUZAK FILLED THE AIR
FROM SENECA TO CUYAHOGA FALLS
SAID, A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO
A sewer line on private property servicing residential? Many questions and legal issues. Are they crazy?
Our forward looking Town Planner has come out with a statement at one of the early public P&Z meetings that he is definitely opposed to any conservation restrictions. I guess he is against any natural environment. Maybe he should work in New Haven or Hartford.
Any idea why he opposed it? Did he give a reason?
He seemed to be saying that he is against them for any development, not just this one.
Developer's Petition Proves Lack of Public Support
The developers had said that most people, 85%, were for the project. Their claim was baseless as evidenced by the fact that a few people in a few days could get 595 signatures in opposition to this poorly thought out project. In contrast to the 595 signers, the pro people only got 150 in that same time period and their petition included two of the current property owners, and relatives and employees of all three property owners. From this alone, it is obvious that the project actually has very little real public support. Why else do the owners have to resort to signing their own petition to get any show of support.
It's time to (1) Reject this environmentaly harmful project, (2) Change The Town Plan of Conservation and Development and the zoning back to what it was, (3) Develop the interchange zone like our current industrial park , with it's broad expanses of green, ponds, wildlife and good paying jobs.
Didn't Sean Strollo say we could always reverse the Town Plan and zone change? Surely Sean and the other members of the P&Z can see that all negatives of this project far outweigh any possible financial gain, if there really are any.
Shopping and nothing has happened in 20 years. Are those good enough reasons?
A nice full-page Ad, in opposition to the mall, was in this week's Herald. About time.
Check out the Cheshire Town Post site. A review of the latest pro mall petition proves there is little support for the mall. Out of 150 signatures there are some interesting signers, the current owners of the 107 acres and their families, as well as Doug Calcagni's realtors and some signatures that were obviously signed be someone other than the signed name. 54 out of 150 signatures are very interesting. Why do these people have to resort to these tactics to push up the number in support of this mall?
