Glad to see your post. Will you be joining other concerned neighbors on July 12th at the monthly TC meeting? The Blume Text Amendment Proposal is supposed to be voted on by Council. I hope you have read this proposal. Hope to see you there!!! Thanks. Hello Don, I live less than 2 miles from you. Glad to see your post.

In the past five years I have been asked tree times to leave my house by the fire department. Although my house is not in danger of water damage my neighbors have not been so fortunate. Now I can't say that all the land development in this area the reason for the lake in front of my house when we get a hard rain, but I suspect it doesn't help. The land in question is already zoned for one house per acre. With the new schools and the new subdivisions already in this area the traffic is terrible. I am not against progress but I do not live in the city for a reason and if convenance is what you are after it sounds like the city living is what you are after. Don't bring it to the country. David

Floods. In the past five years I have been asked tree times to leave my house by the fire department. Although my house is not in danger of water damage my neighbors have not been so fortunate.

I am hopeful that if people have a real issue with this development, that they bring it to the attention of everyone involved. This website has nothing to do with the project.

So can the Town Council. Check them out!!!! I believe they are "official" and not just "gossip mongers".

I have done my research david and you obviously will not believe it to be concrete. I suggest you do your own research. Sure wouldn't want you to listen to gossip!!!! That open space is flood plain. Cannot be built on. so that leaves roughly 150 acres with 4 houses per acre. So about 600 houses all crammed. When did stating facts become complaints???

Not 4-5 houses on each acre and no open space. I would really like to see concrete backup of your complaints against this development, so I can ask them. Gossip from a neighbor isn't enough for me to do so. That’s open space in addition to house lots. Not 4-5 houses on each acre and no open space.

As for the flooding claim, that information came directly from a long time resident in The Oaks Estates which is right across Rocky River Road from Blume. Hope this helps.

There are plenty of shopping opportunities within 2-3 miles of the property. There are already neighboring properties having flooding problems due to the overdevelopment in this area. We already have overcrowded schools and roadways. The current zoning is for 1 house per acre. Developer is pushing for 4-5. Organic farm and solar power? Doubtful!!!!
