Some Responses to the First Draft Capacity Management Plan -

Letters from the Residential Developer's Lawyers - 

Williams & Connolly (Symphony Village) - "The Draft Plan Fails to Honor Preexisting Contractual Obligations."
Stevens (Symphony Village) - "The Town will retain a consulting engineer to evaluate ground water infiltration into the waste water treatment facility and make recommendations to minimize loss of capacity to ground water infiltration. Symphony and Northbrook will pay the cost of the engineering evaluation, and they may choose to pay the cost of implementing the recommendations in exchange for being able to utilize allocation created as a result of reducing ground water infiltration."
Venable (Northbrook) - "The Draft Capacity Management Plan fails to honor the Town's contractual obligation under existing Public Works Agreements."

Letters from Infill Lot owners and Commercial Developers - 

Harry Duffy, III - "I would also encourage a more streamlined way to obtain sewer allotments. It would seem wise for a business to be able to apply for and obtain sewer allotments before going to the expense of site plans and review fees of planning and zoning."
Mr. & Mrs. Murdock - "We were in the process of satisfying MSHA's request when the moratorium took effect and we were unable to proceed with the project."
Cal Gray Jr. & III - "It is our opinion that any change of use that serves to reduce flow should be encouraged, ... and any change of use that has equal flow should be permitted."  "This is near and dear to us because we have enjoyed renovating existing vacant and dilapidated property downtown into smart commercial/professional space."

Letters from Symphony Village Residents and Future Residents -

Contract holders - "We do need your help. It is obvious that delays are costly and very difficult for all of us. Please help us by allowing Caruso/Waterford to obtain the necessary permits now."
Potential purchasers - "I would like to buy a home in Symphony Village. Unfortunately, I cannot even get an estimate of what home prices would be due to the freeze of sales caused by the moratorium."
Mr. & Mrs. Scheck - ".. I am primarily concerned that if sufficient building permits are not issued in a timely manner, the developers/homeowners association will not be able to afford the amenities of the Symphony community ..."
Mr. & Mrs. King - "The sewage system should be increased to handle the growth, money will come in tax revenue."

Letter from the Chester River Association - "Expand the 'wet weather set-aside' from 16.500 gpd to 20,000 gpd ... "
Letter from Dan Worth
- "I feel that this plan fails to strike a proper balance between the interests of the residents, voters, and taxpayers of this town and the interests of the out-of-town developers."
Mary McCarthy's speech at 8/12 hearing
- "We have a unique opportunity to shape the course of development statewide. Let’s do it carefully."
Sveinn Storm's remarks at 8/12 hearing
- (uninterrupted this time.)  "...the town has failed to collect over a million dollars in development fees."
