To Sewer Or Not To Sewer - The Milton Question

All: Founder Tim Enloe recieved the following email on Wednesday. Due to the sensitivity of this topic, we thought it best to post it in our news and zoning sections. Should an opposing view point arise, we are more than happy to give them equal time.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

I am emailing you today to ask you to consider emailing and speaking out to the Milton City Council and Mayor, we have a very important issue before them and your voice needs to be heard. There is a Work Session tomorrow, Thursday, 4/26 at 5:00pm where you can make your comments in person.

If you were not aware, Fulton County has asked Milton to write a letter in support of the extension of sewer and interbasin transfer for Mr. Dennis Potts, this will be discussed tomorrow evening at the Council Work session. Other developers have now come forward to request the same type of exception.

Milton City Council and Mayor need to hear loud and clear that we DO NOT support a letter to Fulton County for the exception of the no sewer policy and no inter basin transfer ordinance for Mr. Potts nor anyone else.

The reasons are simple as to why NOT to support the expansion of sewer and the exception of the No Inter Basin Transfer Ordinance for Mr. Potts or any other petitioners:

· The letter would violate the "no-sewer" policy of Milton and the No Inter Basin Transfer Resolution of March 1995.

· No Sewer policy of Milton is critical to this area to preserve the low-density and rural character of Milton.

· Expansion of sewer would negatively impact our quality of life by allowing more density.
Increased traffic, strains on the current infrastructure, noise, light pollution and lower property values.

· Exception to the No Inter Basin Transfer policy could lead to unnecessary and expensive upgrades or expansion to the Big Creek Treatment plant.

· To reserve our river basins, Etowah River Basin (Chicken Creek Sub-Basin and Cooper/Sandy Creek Sub-Basin), uncontrolled growth has a costly effect on the quality of our environment.

Your local government needs to hear from your today. Please preserve our beautiful community. Milton Contact email addresses are below.

Thanks,
A concerned Milton Resident
