The WC Commissioners who voted in favor of Pennington have placed a potential million plus liability on the backs of OP residents.In plain english ithe vote was both shortsighted and inane. The more capacity you add to the OP wastewater facility the more you open up the area to more building, more traffic, more schools, and more is absolutely not better. The WC Commissioners culd learn much from a visit to Vermont where builders must contend with ACT 250. The permit process is extraordinarly tough but then you don't see the out of control mess we see happening here. And you don't see any buillboards on VT roads. The Commissioners should be reminded of their decision to allow Centex (TheParke) to dump thousads of truck loads of fill on wetlands to bring the elevation up to 5 ft to meet the building code. Apparently we live in an area where anything goes as long as it benefits builders. Ed Malone

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: The word "vision" is interesting. From all appearances, the "vision" is to provide public water and sewer service in advance for development in Worcester County. Given that this "vision" is the same vision that has brought wall to wall concrete, asphalt, traffic congestion, strip malls, etc. to every other area where it has been implemented, I would say the "vision" is likely to become more of a nightmare in the years ahead. This "vision" is sightless for anything beyond the near term gain and doesn't consider the long term pain. The "vision" sure doesn't bode well for people who live in Ocean Pines. Development is inevitable, but how it is allowed to occur is a major responsibility of government. This "vision" you apparently embrace is a roadmap to trouble if history is any guide whatsoever.. |
