Hopefully the town will stick to their guns and keep this from happening. Significant issues appear to come into play based on the concerns of the Board. The "view shed", as they put it, is already significant with what has been done in that area to date. (Being selfish as I own property on the other side of the bay). Regardless - do we really need 42 new homes in the bay? Especially with this economy – how long will they “sit” unoccupied? Do we need them packed into that small of a space with less than 2.5 acres per home? In Alton is there a minimum lot size requirement for a single family home? (I assume that is not an issue here as the Board did not mention it).
