Subject: Agenda Item ZM18-01/VC18-04 - Variance request
Good Afternoon,
I am unable to attend tonight's meeting due to a prior commitment but want to express my opposition to the zoning
modification request ZM18-01NC18-04 for the southeast quadrant of the Birmingham Crossroads. I have and will continue
to oppose variances that allow more commercial or residential developments that reduce or eliminate undisturbed buffers,
setbacks, and greenspace. Approving this variance so a builder can cram homes as little as 10 feet apart is not at all in the
best interest of Milton retaining its rural feel. We must keep the one acre minimum buffer to reduce the impact of the higher
density this development will already bring. Milton has been very clear how it feels about variances that increase density
and change the look of the community over the past several years, most recently with the election Mr. Jamison and Ms.
Bentley this past fall. Thus far, the city council has listened. I am asking that you continue to honor the will of the majority of
the citizens in Milton and follow the city staff's recommendation of denying of this variance.
