Residents voiced strong opposition during a recent government meeting regarding a proposed development project that they believe threatens their properties and community safety. Concerns were raised about the project's need for waivers related to road construction and the potential impact on local traffic.

One resident highlighted that the developers purchased a property that is too small for their intended project, necessitating the acquisition of land from five neighboring property owners. This resident argued that the developers are prioritizing profit over community needs, stating, \"They bought too small of a property... They have to take our property to make this project work.\"

Another resident, Kimberly Milstead, expressed her concerns about the safety of the proposed entrance to the development, suggesting it is dangerously located and urging the developers to consider relocating it. She emphasized the current traffic issues on the road, noting the presence of heavy trucks and motorcycles, and warned that without changes, there could be fatalities.

Shelby Berry Taman echoed these sentiments, criticizing the developers for requesting waivers that would allow for tighter lot sizes, which she believes compromises the quality of life for existing residents. She questioned whether the town would continue to lower standards for future developments, expressing frustration over the perceived prioritization of profit over community welfare.

Rodney Ashcraft, a property owner directly affected by the project, voiced his concerns about the potential loss of his land and the impact on the community's standards. He argued that the developers are leveraging their financial power to push through the project at the expense of local residents.

The meeting underscored a growing tension between developers and community members, as residents called for more consideration of safety and quality of life in the face of ongoing development pressures.
