TOO MANY UNITS FOR EGYPTIAN HOUSING PROPOSAL?

Wednesday, 03 Sep 2008

A proposed development for residential property in Egypt has come up against opposition from residents in the neighbouring Mason Valley, which is a little to the north of the proposed housing development in Mason Road. Residents say that the town is benefitting the housing developer, a Brighton company called Pride Mark Homes Inc., by spot zoning. The company intends on building a new nursing home with 60 units and separate living amenities, including over 100 homes, on the 40 acres of land that surrounds the fire station in Egypt.

Mike and Kim Colton are distributing a petition that opposes the development of this new project for property in Egypt, because the couple feel that the amount of units proposed for the development will be too many for the size of the land it’s due to be built on. The couple are of the opinion that the land would be better used for homes for single families, and are worried that more than 100 families moving into the area will cause major problems with traffic, both pedestrian and vehicles, and that there will be issues with the amount of noise from the new development, that will end up decreasing the value of their current homes.

Jim Brasley, the Planning Board chairman, says that it’s in the hands of the Town Board whether or not Pride Mark will be allowed to go ahead with the designing of the proposed development of this new property in Egypt. Bradley says that the development proposal follows the town’s plans with regards to housing variety and that if the development for the new accommodation in Egypt goes ahead, it would not be the first occasion that such a development had been constructed. Bradley also said that no such development in the past has had a negative impact on the value of the neighbouring properties.
