Marion Twp: Reconsider Meadows West Plans

Residents of Hometown Village of Marion & The Meadows sub-divisions are concerned that the current Mitch Harris plans for the construction and development of the Meadows West subdivision do not meet the coded buffer requirements and demonstrate little effort at preserving the natural wooded area, which serves a multitude of purposes (highway/residential noise buffering, privacy, animal habitats, property value, aesthetic purposes, etc.). Additionally, there is a shared concern for the impact of increased traffic flow and road use of another subdivision (that would share an entrance/road access with the existing Meadows subdivision directly across from the Woodbury subdivision) being added into an already busy and congested area of D-19. As a mostly rural community, we feel that there is no need for subdivisions to be stacked on top of each other and believe that these plans should be stopped or at the very least modified to preserve as much natural balance as possible and minimize congestion.
