For instance, let's say you owned 16 acres of woods and fields north of the circle with one house on it. The rug has just been yanked out from under your feet. As a preservationist, it might seen strange for me to be defending property rights. One house every 4-6 acres is not bad at all if planned correctly. For instance, I have only a acre in the southern end of the township and yet the area is very much in keeping with nature.
Proper planning can do so much to address developmet concerns.
For instance, I think many people can agree that a house in the middle of a large open plot of land can stick out like a sore thumb. Meantime, Mr. Rudder approves of slash and burn Townhome development in the senstive woodland and bogs of the Southern Area of the town.
