Re: Milton City Council Agenda Item 18-040
Dear Mayor and Council,
My name is Steve Winch, and my family and I have lived at 2640 Grassview Drive,
Milton, GA 30004 since 2001. During that time we have seen much change. The
efforts of this body have done a good job at protecting the character of the area that
we call home.
Mr. Carson's proposed development adjoins our neighborhood to the east. He has
been kind enough to share his plans with me. While I understand that it has long
been the policy of Milton not to extend sewer that, in and of itself, does not insure
good growth. In fact, in this instance, the unintended consequence is to permit more
houses on smaller, less desirable lots, by not allowing for the extension of the sewer
line by 400 or so feet.
It doesn't make sense to blindly adhere to a "no sewer policy" to our own detriment.
Particularly where the extension would not provide further opportunity to an
adjacent property.
I offer my support for Mr. Carson's 8 -lot plan with the extended sewer line and
respectfully request your thoughtful consideration.
Thanks you for your time.
Respectfully,
wq
Steve Winch
