manner. I, for one, would vote for a public approved septic system and alternate septic system off-site.
The members of the Town Council voluntarily give much of their time to the Town and indeed should be held to a higher standard than any other resident. I believe if you look at the Stuart subdivision you will find that the requirements imposed on the Joint Venture far and away exceed any past subdivision in the Town of Washington’s history by an individual or public official. This can easily by verified by a call to John McCarthy’s office.
The subdivision of zoned land in the Town of Washington is a right of the landowner (town resident) and cannot be taken away by a flawed ordinance or an individual. The magnitude of the subdivision from five existing lots to seven lots on 9.77 acres has been greatly exaggerated, by its opponents. If the land had been developed prior to this Council’s term there could have been up to 19 residential or commercial lots.
I personally have a contempt for individuals who abuse their public office for their personal gain or preference. There was no pressure placed on any member of the Planning Commission or Council by the LOMP Joint Venture and the applicants willingly conformed to nearly all that was requested of them during the public hearing process, which is, in fact, the time for any dissention to be publicly aired.
I believe it is fundamentally unfair to spread negative public perception, after the fact, about the Council and the subdivision applicants when there was ample public discussion, disclosure and consideration.
