Emphasis should be placed on improving the residences along Dutchtown Road with a definite limit on the number of homes permitted. Under no circumstances should the Commission permit more than four units per acre. High density residential (such as apartment units) would negatively affect the infrastructure of the area.
Adding high density housing along this stretch of Dutchtown Road simply adds to the already increasing traffic volume the current residents are experiencing. In addition, putting this development across the road from one of the entrances to Christian Academy school can lead to further traffic problems during special events. Finally, although it doesn't happen often, this area tends to collect standing water during periods of heavy rain and I'm wondering how further development will affect this issue.
