The next round of the King Mill hearings is scheduled for Monday August 4, 2008. In summary, this is an on-going hearing to hear a substantive challenge to 2006 Forks Township FP Farm Land Protection district regulations. The challenge states the regulations concerning the development of single family detached homes in the FP district are arbitrary, unreasonable, and unconstitutional because effect of the zoning laws discourage a landowner to develop the land with high density housing. The developer (KMRD) wants to built 1,952 condominium apartments, 359 townhouses and 731 mobile homes on 545 acres in new development called Kings Mill. Yikes!
This could be one of the last hearings, as the KMRD attorneys finish the cross examination of Charlie Schmehl, vice president of Urban Research and Development, then presents a single rebuttal witness. I am hoping the final arguments, public comment, and the Zoning Hearing Board (ZHB) final vote will happen at a later date.
It is important we attend this meeting to show our support for the township attorneys and send a message to the developers, we do not want high density development in our FP district.
Get Involved! Every Voice Counts
