1,800 homes will tax Marley Neck services
How can the county go through the planning and zoning process and allow 1,800 homes, plus commercial development, on the Marley Neck Peninsula? [School crowding remedy: Home developer offers to build addition to Solley Elementary, Feb. 19, 2006] This area only has a two-lane road and is served by two volunteer fire companies, Orchard Beach and Riviera Beach. Can you also imagine the strain on the police, water and road systems? Imagine, also, at least 3,600 additional vehicles crowded onto a peninsula. The road system cannot accommodate the volume of traffic now, what happens when the system needs to be fixed? Guess the taxpayers will be the answer. An increase in the size of the Solley Elementary School doesn't begin to address the future problems of the area. This is Smart Growth?
