The schools are already crowded...once again!     i think well thought out commercial can coexist with the rural area with the proper buffers  i.e:parks, biek paths.   *I would like to see more members on the Planning Commission.  The right members can make a big difference - even after a plan is adopted.

68 | If we wanted to live in New Albany we would have moved there in the first place.
69 | I am against it!
70 | If annexation occurs - say to New Albany development will happen and be out of our control. We would likely lose our rural flavor.
71 | The chance of houseing developments
72 | When Wexner gets here we will not be able to afford to live on the land that has been in my husbands family for over 100 years. And Licking County should stay Licking County. Just because he has more money then GOD then why should the rest of us suffer.
73 | We don't want New Albany here
74 | Losing control to those with the money and power to do what they want, without regard to what the residents want.
75 | Not sure
76 | This is the most important issue of this survey.  If New Albany continues it's path towards [NAME] Rd. I will be unable to afford taxes and forced to sell my property.
77 | more development
78 | Don't want to be part of New Albany
79 | If we'd wanted to be in a city, we would have stayed in Columbus or Newark or New Albany.
80 | Not New Albany - Taxes are High
81 | NA annexation is a money grab of tax base that will leave the area with poor services. Will be at the mercy of developers. No concern to personal rights on property.
82 | DO NOT WANT ANNEXED BY NEW ALBANY!
83 | It comes down to taxes. Out taxbase would increase we don't benefit by paying New Albany any money.
84 | We don't want to become part of Columbus or New Albany any more than already are .
85 | If annexed to New Albany Jersey Township will loose all of its rural appeal. It will become just another "burb."
86 | We don't want to be New Albany residents.  We would like stay Agricultural/Residential.
87 | New Albany - Do not want 1) higher taxes 2) water/sewer
88 | We don't want to be New Albany residents.   We would like stay Agricultural/Residential
89 | I would hate to see this area consumed by Columbus and New Albany which I believe is slowly happening.  Increased taxes, forced hook up to public water and sewer and the eventual destruction on existing homes.    Don't get screwed this is usually the end result.  As other entity approach, the ONLY thing they are really looking for is tax money.
90 | I like the rural atmosphere and freedom of our township
91 | Don't want to do away with agriculture.
92 | Annexation away from the township means loss of control!
93 | Only to certain areas
94 | Higher taxes
95 | Better to be in New Albany than Pataskala
96 | If beneficial to Community
97 | I want to keep this area a clean township as it is now and I don't want to be N.A. or Col. or any other city
98 | Our corrept government allow money to dictate the outcome ofall annexation petitions
99 | Residential concerns
100 | New Albany - Johnstown (Example Jefferson Township)
101 | For what purpose - Industrial, etc
102 | Keep our property righ is very important  Adding city water or sewer will be the catalyst that would end the Jersey we KNOW today!
103 | [NAME] annexed a lot of acreage a few years ago and still doesn't have the tax base to provide services
104 | Left rural
105 | I don't see the need for it. Things are just fine as is.
106 | If annexation occurs - all services should be annexed also - changes dynamics of school systems + area's atmosphere
107 | Any annexation (Biggest Threat NA) should benefit both parties
108 | Do not want to become part of big development and lots of housing or New Albany!  Keep it down sized the way it is.
109 | Tax implications   [NAME] taxes are already too high.
110 | Because of higher taxes
111 | Taxes

114 | Higher taxes, more businesses, more control!   This is the country, keep it that way!
115 | Don't want to be annexted to New Albany
116 | Cannot afford New Albany taxes
117 | Property taxes (New Albany) are unaffordable + N J Township would lose the tax base.
118 | Tax increase
119 | Taxes New Albany Schools
120 | Property taxes and devaluation of land
121 | Property taxes will sky rocket with annexation and force us to tap into water and sewer
122 | Why mess with a system that works?
123 | It is a political way for developers to open up an area to get what they want .
124 | [NAME]. will lose it's identity and tax base.
125 | loss of control over type of development
126 | If annexed to New Albany we will not be able to afford the taxes!
127 | Do not want higher taxes.
128 | We don't need another New Albany
129 | I want to stay the way it is
130 | Taxes

137 | Not interested in giving money in taxes to mind numbing idiots who don't listen to the people
138 | Taxes Development
139 | If I wanted to live in New Albany i would have moved there
140 | Maybe I should be but don't know enough to be....
141 | I do not want to see Jersey Township disappear.  It is a very nice township!
142 | Things are fine as they are and too many regulations, ie [NAME]
143 | Because we lose control
144 | Our taxes will go sky high.  New Albaney resididents found out the way.  do not want that, [NAME]' care about Wexners pocket book.  We moved out here to get away from the city keep Wexnor out
145 | Other entities take control
146 | Do not want to be in any town- especially New Albany
147 | I moved out here for the Agricultural, Rural atmosphere
148 | Increased density. Extention of water and sewer infrastructure and services
149 | We like the current leadership of [NAME].  They do a great job and have for years.  [NAME] only brings complications troubles and issues that only continue to worsen
150 | [NAME] can't take of their own interest let alone add us their load.  New Albany taxes are too high.  We moved to the country for country atmosphere knowing we'd have to drive to get to city conviences.
151 | Want to keep community as is
152 | Tax increases
153 | Loss of rural character, increased property tax, forced to accept and pay for city utilities.
154 | Annexation opens the door to new and different ideas on land use that conflict with what make Jersey Township so great.  I don't want to live in New Albany - and I do not trust them not to change our great space!
155 | We do not want New Albany taxes
156 | [NAME] needs to enlarge it's space so we can maintain our semirural environment.

160 | See attached #11
161 | I don't want to see any more of [NAME] made part of New  Albany.  I don't want to live in New Albany!!
162 | We don't need it
163 | Growth - in the worst possible ways, ie: commercial, industrial, multi-housing
164 | Its too conjested presently
165 | Annexation causes jersey Twp to lose the ability to control its development and appearance.  Need to provide equivalent services or match /incentivize land to stay in township zoning  A good plan will prevent annexation.
166 | We need the tax base - our schools need money it shouldn't be given the new Albany - We already nave the section 8 housing on Waggoner Rd. whic is also a burden - Any Section 8 housing in New Albany?
167 | Do not wish to be annexed to [NAME] which cannot raise enouth tax payer support to even have adequate police or provide adequate services.  Prefer to stay as township

170 | It would, perhaps, provide intelligent development
171 | I don't want to be annexed to [NAME]

181 | No to [NAME], No to New Albany. No to Johnstown.  If i want to live inside city limits, I will move there.
182 | No more taxes.  Don't want New Albany or Pataskala Township
183 | We would have to follow along with whatever they want and not what we want
184 | We do not need New Albany or Granville etc.  Taking any more of our land and using it for their gain.  i.e. Taxes/ Commercial building
185 | We have enough growth as is.  Stop!
186 | Utilities Water & County government want the additional revenues and have been allowed in the state courts to utilize annexation as a loophole to avoid township statutes.
187 | Like being rural Licking County
188 | I want the rural atmosphere maintained.
189 | Do not want big development

Keep Jersey Township country! Freeze all the building of huge warehouses in western Licking County. Tell (name removed) to stay in Franklin County, Not ruin Licking County!
206 | Growth
207 | Moved back to county to enjoy rural life. Do not want any part of New Albany Taxes.
208 | Don't want to be part of New Albany
209 | I don't wish to be part of Johnstown or New Albany. If that is to happen, then [NAME] should become its own city.

I had a man build a new house next to me and he put in a pond and in the process he changed the drainage of the water - he put a wall of dirt 6 feet high righ tup the fence line and the water comes over on me and in the back of my property- he put a 2-3 foot wall of dirt to cut off the drain of the land. Beside this he never mows and keep the weeds and garbage from building up. This problem is effecting my neighbors also. The Wwater and Soil Conservation is worthless in Jersey Twp.

26 | Open Zoning on Old 161
27 | My pine tree plantation will take more years than I have to mature for profit meanwhile my property tax increases with no regard for my expenses of upkeep on the property. Being retired and a fixed income hurts my wallet just to keep my property in top condition.

155 | lack of shopping, school system, dealing with Licking County instead of Franklin County officials.

164 | Developers see us as fodder for their uncontrolled growth.  Businesses, like the Jeep dealership use too much and too bright lighting and destroy the night sky.
165 | Poor internet and telephone services.  Lack of zoning enforcement -messy homes, junk cars etc.  Distance to variety of retail/shopping.
166 | New schools are already over flowing
167 | No sense of town center or gathering place.  No restaurants.  Lack of internet service.  Poor phone service.  Aged utility system.  Police and Fire protection are prompt, however.
168 | Being Annexed
169 | no street lights, no public water, mentality of residents, poor education, not run ley professional buy by "Old Boy" regime.  Very old school in a negative unyielding attitude.  New comers are not welcome but "suspect".  We are so behind very nice communities as to Jersey being uneducated and close knit and dumb 1900's rather than 2009.
170 | School system has a terrible reputation of being rough and not college oriented.  the area has too many small unkept homes.
171 | New Albany encroaching
172 | Water drainage , not having water, sewer, and gas (We know it's part of living in a rural area but it can be a negative aspect)

176 | No retail stores, pizza shops
177 | Lack of enforcement of code (abandoned or derelect cars)
178 | The lighting from industry - i think there should be a voltage limit.  The Jeep/Dodge place looks like a landing strip at night!
179 | Bad roads, no response to problems when consulting trustees

191 | Everybody trying to change it
192 | School System
193 | School System

198 | To close to New Albany
199 | restaurants, gas stations
200 | New Albany
201 | None at the moment
202 | Bad cell service, internet, cable service
203 | Concerns about long term water
204 | 1. City folks and billionaires trying to make our area into a wealthy ghetto (New Albany). 2. Ubiquitous cell phone/microwave towers. 3. Speeding taffic on narrow county roads -- now more then ever due to new 161 having opened. 4. Also, heavy, commercial trucks are now speeding down our formerly quiet and narrow roads due to change in traffic patterns brought on by opeing at new 161. 5. Too many residents are apparently unaware of laws and regulations governing restraints on dogs; i.e. some allow their dogs to roam freely. While the County dog warden provides excellent service, I suspect many residents do not know the rules. 6. We need more then one game warden. One is not enough, especially during hunting season. Need greater accessibility to the current game warden. (Can't ever seem to get through or leave a message or have a phone call returned.) This guy's a ghost! I know he's a federal or state employee, but he's supposed to serve the residents of Licking County/Jersey Township. Right now we're not even getting minimul service.
205 | Distance to retail shopping
206 | Property containing old cars, junk, unkept property.
207 | It doesn't seem that the speed limit is enforced here on Morse Rd. close to [NAME] think it should be changed to 35 mph...Maybe motorists would slow down then.
208 | Trash filled properties. No police or fire.
209 | Lack of city water system
210 | Zoning inspector not having written, approved guidelines that have been used in making his determination.

Number | Response Text
1 | We have the Licking County Sheriffs office and they do a great job.  Also we now have fire protection that is good.  You still want me to vote for money for city water. NO
2 | Zoning inspector should be required to live within township so he/she visibly sees problem areas and needs for permits.
3 | NO
4 | No
5 | Rural roads with 35 mph speed limits not right! I feel these are speed traps + were imposed on the residents.
6 | More regulation of lot sizes, 5+ acres More convienent recycling
7 | More frequent patrols of sheriff  High Speed Internet Service
8 | insist mowing to secure roadway line of site  Fire and Police could be more visable Maybe promote how to access
9 | Expand water lines and sewage system
10 | Not a criticism of county sheriff dept, but I'm not sure what good they do way out here. Neither nextel or verizon have adequate strength. I have written to both.
11 | More options for phone and high speed internet (n/a from Embarq)
12 | If we all form a bond and stick together for what we believe then we can make this happen.  Stay a rural area.  I grew up in New Albany when Plain Township was like jersey Township now.  Change is good if it is for the people also in the area.
13 | Have trash company provide recycling  Work towards a way people cn get affordable water  Work with phone company about internet and cell  Could law enforcement have an office on this side of the county  Township building  Many of these things could be done without raising taxes.
14 | Post speed limits  Enforce speed limits  Competitive phone services/ internet services   If township provided seperate pick up for recycling I believe more people would do it Improved Tax usage should be incorporated before taxing more
15 | Signs that are damaged need to be replaced.  Embarq totally sucks and that is not being biased I am not a fan of city water and sewer  To keep up with todays lifestyles it would be nice to have internet service readily available.
16 | Build a fire house    Pressure the utility companies for improved services
17 | Run city sewer and water supply - improve cable, phone competition areas are solely proveded and rates are inflated in those areas
18 | We can always improve in a lot of these
19 | We pay taxes on most of these items  Would support recreation for Jersey Township
20 | Digital cable and internet
21 | I am not sure of township business. A quarterly newsletter could provide knowledge to all conserned parties...
22 | Speeding is a problem on [NAME] I haven't seen one sign with speed limits.
23 | would like to see more places to recreate
24 | Quicker response on snow removal
25 | Do we have parks, recreation and [NAME]? Internet?  Recycling pick-up would be nice but probably not cost-effective
26 | Closer EMS and fire  No sort recycle [NAME]
27 | no
28 | Truthfully, my road has widened and improved over the years to the point where people now drive 70 MPH.  I used to ride my tricycle on it when I was a kid.  I understand the desire for the newer residents to be able to get to the office as quick as they can without spilling their coffee, but I preferred living on a one-lane, bumpy township road.  "Slow Down" is why I live in the country
29 | I am not sure there is a way to provide high speed internet and maintain a rural atmosphere.  The satellite helps.
30 | Better management of present taxes
31 | Offer us high speed internet. recycling should be a choice - we dont even have the option. schools need desperate help. Why is Target not donating funds to our schools? New Albany recieves money from Target?
32 | Would like to see access to city water same day
33 | We are taxed out as it is I would much rather my taxes go to the township than the county.  The school should cater more to it's existing neighbors than to those who leach from the existing residents efforts to improve our children's lives
34 | More patrol by Sheriff on Jug St. Cars travel at a high rate of speed.
35 | Need a park
36 | We need an Inspector that will enforce zoning  We need a New One
37 | Township needs to mow roadsides more
38 | Make [NAME] and [NAME] a four way stop-with large signs-post the speed limit
39 | Should be home owners responsibility for trash, township dollars should cover this due to property tax   IE: New 161 project - Roads are turning into speeding in twp -- Someone's going to get hurt.
40 | I think its a trade off being in a township.  the closerst police are in Newark.  I've call before a has been 1/2 hour.
41 | Put more speed signs up and enforce them  Lower our school taxes - as we have no kids
42 | Get the store back/have a coffee shop  Have a marathon around the area or 5K 10K run
43 | Some of the businesses on old 161 are eyesores.  Would like to be able to recycle cans, bottles, etc.
44 | Make broadband available at competitive prices Company areas limit choice.
45 | Stricter enforcement of clean up for disabled vehicles and unkempt property.
46 | Really doesn't matter does it. You let money talk and take control. Look at Beech Road.
47 | High Speed Internet
48 | City water
49 | You guys are doing well, no complaints
50 | More than one company to choose from.
51 | Add more cellular towers Need to be able to choose which electric company one wants to use.
52 | One choice for phone, electric, cable and internet.  No option for another carrier.
53 | Improve visibility at intersections and hidden driveways
54 | I would not support 23 different tax levies for these items individually.  What is already included in current taxes.
55 | Connect to Village Systems
56 | Replace culverts that are smashed [NAME] old cars and junk No high speed internet this is reasonable
57 | Try not to pile snow in front of driveways.
58 | Mink road south needs road repaved between [NAME] road and Broad Street.  [NAME] is in terrible condition
59 | STRICTER ZONING LAWS; SOME OTHER PHONE COVERAGE BESIDES EMBARQ/SPRINT; DON'T CARE THAT CELL SERVICE SUCKS - NO MORE TOWERS; INTERNET WILL DEVELOP  EVENTUALLY; TWP GOV OPERATES ON THE GOOD OLD BOY SYSTEM AND HAS BEEN SELF-SERVING IN MANY CASES;NEED TO GET OUT OF THE POCKETS OF DEVELOPERS. RECYCLING WOULD BE NICE IF WE HAD IT.
60 | Fire station in Township would be a plus.
61 | For telephone, electric and internet....competition.
62 | Fix Mink South of Morse (city)
63 | No
64 | City water
65 | not at this time
66 | Offer other phone services. Pick up recycling. The underground water is not of a good quality.
67 | Need to make something less expensive - We had to put a mound system in
68 | Speed limit signs on Mink  Look into a fire station - cost vs. need
69 | Reduce speed limits @  hill & intersections and residential areas; need a recreational park; need a public library
70 | The township crew does a good job for what they have to work with .
71 | We need better access to broadband, it is hit or miss.  Adjacent streets to Burnside have it but Burnside, [NAME] and others don't.
72 | Post appropriate speed limits & enforce.
73 | Don't quite understand why cell coverage is still poor in the area. A couple of towers would make huge difference.
74 | Sign repair bad during road project; ems - had to call 1 time - took about 20 min to arrive - didn't know way to Mr. [NAME] E from 161- could not find us now - concerned with re-route; Telephone has been bad for years. Sometimes difficult just dialing out - lines go dead too often; not much recreation around; electric goes out alot - sometimes no apparent reason i.e. storms/high winds/etc.
75 | Allow us to connect to AT&T which goes across the front of own property More towers for cellular  Provide us with updated carriers for internet services  Garbage collector should provide recycling containers
76 | The cable companies control the lines "Insight" specifically with no apparent interest in upgrading .
77 | We don't need a township library. [NAME] has a good one and Columbus is the best (one of) in the nation. Utilities are private businesses that don't need taxes. Never put in water and sewer...development is soon to follow!
78 | Our st. sign has been sideways for 3 years, some trees, shrubs have to be cut back, new lines on rds, no parks, no library, electric goes out at drop of hat, too much clay for septic systems, need sewage and water.
79 | Don't need a library - [NAME] is close
80 | Clean out and fix where smased, culverts need to take water flow.  Zoning needs to get rid of trash around houses and see that empty house are destroyed also out building that are falling down
81 | We have propertys that have abandoned and need cleaned up other than that everything is fine
82 | The utility companies now charge significantly for transfer of gas, electric, telephone and cable to our townships but never improve our service.  Lousy internet, no cable internet, constant power outages and undervoltage problems.  [NAME] is not effective.
83 | Good
84 | Use a better quality paint for edge lines. Install reflective markers on all multi-lane roads.
85 | Enforce zoning laws
86 | Some things are just the nature of the beast
87 | Very happy with sercies provided. Only change would be to mow street sides more frequently.
88 | We do not need a public library We need a park/rec area
89 | I feel that Licking heights has poor quanlity of schools as well as teachers
90 | Do a better job
91 | Options
92 | Old cars, trucks, tractor, auto parts and junk need to be cleaned up.  We need rules on zoning and they need to be enforced to everyone.  30 years ago are zoning ws good.  Now it is affal.
93 | Need someone to provide highspeed internet in all of Jersey Township!
94 | I wish we would have the ability to get roadrunner digital cable
95 | Use some of the tax money you have to do park if wanted  an area s rural as this needs to provide recycling at homes via garbage collection.
96 | New leadership
97 | Roads lack speed signs.  55MPH in residential is excessive, lack signs  Offer high speed internet service  Recycling to include glass and empty hoppers more often Recycle yard waste
98 | Need stop sign @ Jug/Beech Not enough police
99 | 1)more stop signs ([NAME] and Jug Street) to control accidents 2)more police 3) Need more electric companies in Jersey Township - electric goes out for 4-5 hrs ever time something happens to the electric
100 | New electic company  Pubic water
101 | Invite companies like AT&T and Columbia Gas to compete for business
102 | Let Columbus, Reynoldsburg or Gahanna take the inter-city kids back that are in the school system, they are better equiped to handle them.  We do no have the police presence to make the school a proper learning environment.  (I am aware the school is in Lima Twp. but the problem effects [NAME] township property also.)
103 | road safety - better sinage - lower speeds parks more recycling options
104 | snow removal needs to start earlier in the morning
105 | Get rid of Bailey
106 | check culvert more often. cable, electric + interent down most often, we don't have interent because of electric down or out.
107 | Don't let any more Low Income Housing move into our school district - Licking Heights is now known as "A Hood School" by even people that live in Columbus city school areas - Disgraceful
108 | We go to New Albany for library services, it is closer for us.   New substation on [NAME] should help with electrical outages A good recycling program would have home pick up
109 | Beech and jug is awful.  People FLY down [NAME] and Zero cops are ever seen
110 | SWL Water and Sewer
111 | [NAME] someone that cares and support them
112 | Curbside recycling, upgrade electric infrastructure
113 | We need to build a park.  Example, softball fields, Basketball court, nature trail etc.
114 | Telephone -  Limited choices costly  Electric - Poor service out quite a bit, returns acceptably quick  Internet - Limited choice costly connection problems  Schools - Limited return on Investment taxes
115 | Snow Removal - More salt less sand  Road Safety - Lower speed limits on Morse  Recreation - More Parks  Library - Larger  Recycling - Curb Side
116 | Road Safety - Enforce speed limit, add shoulders for pedestrians Telephone service - Get digital! (Cable and Internet)  Recreation - More parks    ADD BIKE TRAILS Public Library - Would be nice  Recycling -Curb Pickup
117 | Clean up trashy areas/lots.  Work with cable provider to get cable and better internet into the area.
118 | Reduce speed (45 mph) (Go to New 161)  Buy a Generator  Local hazardous material station
119 | Road Safety - Speeds reduced  Recreation - Pursue grants from ODNR and others  Recycling - Garbage collector should provide curbside recycling
120 | Force law enforcement you have [NAME] police Sherriffs office, State Highway patrol.  No reason for the accidents and speeding - wreckless operations force them to patrol Morse Rd. is a drag strip.  [NAME] bicylelist, inconsiderate people, play haviffic on traffic.
121 | Snow Removal - Faster Response Road Safety - New speed limits on township roads. Visibility - Trim  Recreation - We have none. - Park areas, bike trails  Library - none in township  Public Schools - public education has deteriorated.  Home Water Supply - Housing development affected water quality  Septic systems - Need inspections and control.
122 | Reduce speed limit and put a cop on it once in a while.  Make land available for green spaces.  have AEP maintain their equipment.  Stop throwing money at the school system until test scores and attendance improves.
123 | Need Parkland
124 | Work with communication companies to get underground fiber optic installed for internet. Zoning - view requests for variances as having a rebutable presumption that variance should be denied. Require developers to pay actual impact costs. Maintain low density single family rural.
125 | Local phone rates are too costly.  Find a provider for home lines that are cheaper.  Basic phone service should be under $20.00 a month
126 | Cell phone service isn't good for any carrier buy like everyone else, I don't want a tower in my back yard or across the street, so I'm willing to deal with it.   Schools - I don't know if they could spend $ better but I know without support of the community we will never improve.  Good schools draw people to an area and keep great teachers here.
127 | There is no competition for phone internet and cable services
128 | Reduce road speed - put a cellular tower in a new cloverlead  Give us a park - build recreation paths
129 | Snow - Focus on N-S streets like Clover Valley more [NAME] north of new area is going to be over-traveled soon. Beech/Jug intersection is very dangerous. Clover Valley/Green Valley intersection is really bad. Schools - Need more money - broaden the tax base or raise taxes.  Recycling - We have started to use the plastic bin at the township house. Need ways to recycle more (plus instructions how to sort) Recreation - Jogging/cross country ski trail?
130 | Culverts should be checked and addressed based on waterflow and drainage. Public library - dont have 1. Electric - Upgrades in cables needed. Internet - Need high speed service - It is all around us.
131 | Law enforcement - really, about what one could reasonable expect in a rural setting.  Everything to do with county roads - See Item #26 attachement.
132 | Fire protection - Need Hydrants (water sources)  Garbage Collection - Contract was not cheaper than selecting my own and it is a poorer quality than I had before.  Cellular Service could have better coverage,  Recreation - there is none,  Public Schools - The township should do more to support the schools   ie Develop a better base  Internet - encourage competition with more option for services Home Water - It's a well, don't really drink from it because I can't control what is in it and septic.
133 | Lower speed on Mink between [NAME] and 161:  Roads curviness makes for accidents, No recreation facility or library exists.  Cell phone signals sometime get lost.  I just don't know enough about effectiveness of township gov't: it might be excellent for all i know.  We need bottle recycling [NAME].
134 | We need commercial development well done to provide and good tax base and good thigs will follow
135 | Having a branch library at on of the intersections on Old 161 would be an excellent draw for businesses and for families
136 | I currently live county Rd. , I had ongoing water issue for years county has done little to nothing to correct problem.  County has left fixing problem up to me to fix .
137 | New phone co and electric and cable (nationally know not back yard) not these seeming unregulated ones.  have a police/sherriff office in this area.  Get the community educated and throw out the old time leaders who must be preventing positive change.  We should follow the model of New Albany or Delaware, schools are excellent and new educated leaders did that.
138 | When one calls 911 the fire truck that arrives should have more water then a 55 gallon barrel of water.  (Suggestion based on experience - We're just saying....)
139 | Do the job your supposed to due and use our money wisely.
140 | Speed signs on roads that do not have them  Better access to internet and cable providers
141 | Encourage Insight to put a tower near our area.
142 | We should recycle
143 | When ask to check out.   At least due so in a certain time frame.  We have a ditch at the back of property that holds water.  My neighbor who is 80 something and I have had to clean it.  But now it needs Father down for some one to come open it.
144 | 1) The recycling area needs work - always full.  Need bottle recycling.  The things at Meijers were everything goes in one are better.  2) There's a bad spot on Mink between 161 and Morse on a curve that needs work.   3) A curve sign on Old 161 near the exercise place going East - at night you can see the exit traffic likes on new 161 @ Beech & it appears that Old 161 goes toward those lights if you aren't familiar with the road.
145 | Yes - Improve them, That's why I pay taxes!!
146 | Allow another phone company in our area - not just Embarq!
147 | Zoning will need to become full time and billed directly to any inquiries to provide funding.  Embarq and AEP need brought before the trustees and whipped like a rented mule.  50% of their charges are for distribution and transmition and they haven'tspent "[NAME]" on improvements in Jersey Twp for 20 years
148 | Zoning is not controlled Junk Cars  Unkept property
149 | County needs earlier snow removal  Hi Speed internet would be nice
150 | Get high speed internet through embarq make telephone and cable companies to update the line to provide up to date services
151 | Fiber Optics, better AEP preventive maintenance
152 | Culver - Trustees need to research and listen and not assume they know the History.  Sheriff over burden and lack of funding to patrol
153 | Make AEP accountable.  Tree removal is very poor!!! Should be done proactively!
154 | Culvert - Trustees need to research and listen and not assume they know the history [NAME] over burden and lack of funding to patrol
155 | Stop using laid law
156 | Phone - alternate options (ie: multiple carriers )  Internet - DSL/high option aside from Hughes.net (satellite)  Recycling - home pickup for paper/plastics/cans through garbage collection provider
157 | Public Water /sewer systems would be a plus
158 | law enforcement - Not many Sheriff's.  No other local support  Recreation - Very little choice
159 | Need city water and sewage option
160 | I would like to see Recycling in my area as well as high speed internet I'll called about the internet before, and they told me it was up to the township, and I was not able to get a hold of anyone.
161 | Local traffic only on rural country roads. Heavy commercial trucks should use major arteries only for thoroughfares. Enforcement of same by sheriff and more patrols during rush hours. (am & pm) for heavy trucks and speeders. While I believe road maintenance is good, I worry about the condition of some of our smaller one lane bridges which appear to be aging and rusting underneath.  NOTE: We already pay taxes for many of the above-listed items/services. Why have a column entitled "Would Support Tax to Provide?" Don't you really mean "would support more taxes to provide?" This question is not well-designed and appears deceptive.
162 | In the winter I travel Morse & Clark State Rd's to and from work. For the past 11 years there is a distinct difference of road conditions when I cross the Licking/Franklin County line. Licking County side is treated with sand, and is usually very slippery, then Franklin treats with salt and is very clear and drivable. We really need to improve road treatment.
163 | Cell phone coverage. However, I don't want additional towers.
164 | Salt roads and plow as needed. Speed limit control.
165 | Nothing I am not able to live with except electric service (would like to see underground).
166 | Form police and fire. I'd volunteer to provide police. Form our own fire and ems. Septic inspections every 5 years. Recycling at home should be free.
167 | City water system
168 | Seek lower speed limits.
169 | Lower culverts for proper drainage.  Lots of accidents at Beech and [NAME].  No fire or police out here.  No parks or recreation/plyground.  [NAME] doesn't offer net metering.  Twp government doesn't preserve Twp. quality, allowed too much development/annexation.  No recycling.

27 | More out toward Beech an rural areas Johnstown bike path
28 | There is already lots of open space
29 | No need for open space everyone should have enough property for their own comport level.  That is why they bought or build their home where it is.

6 | Would like to see growth along old 161 and new 161, but not to infringe on the rural environment in the rest of Jersey Township.
7 | No
8 | I would like to see our township have a classy rural style and not just a random scatterin of ugly buildings.  While we don't want to be just like New Albany, we would like to be classy.
9 | Leave as is
10 | The traffic flow has to be carefully planned, other communities that have developedrecently mad huge mistakes and the residents resent not demanding better planning.  Development is great, but people live here for a reason, don't mess up those reasons, look at other areas that developed and look at what they did wrong and right   Canal Winchester, Hilliard, Pickerington
11 | I wrote it on another page
12 | Would like to see zoning inspector to live in Jersey Township.  Also Elected?????
13 | If the main purpose of the comprehensive plan is to run old Jersey Township residences out of the township to allow for growth only, let me know so I can move before I cannot afford the tax to live here anymore.
14 | No
15 | No
16 | No my biggest concern is noise pollution Barking dogs, music etc.
17 | We still have a chance to keep out rural charm and improve upon it.  Hopefully we wont end up being the "ARMPIT" between New Albany and Granville.  Thank you for reachin out and truly seeking the opinions of our residents.
18 | A condiminium community with a modest [NAME] air and basements would be a nice touch. Keeping restrictions to a minimum would be a welcome idea.  A community that is self sufficient regarding utilities is overdue and affordable to build.  This is a good thing to push for regarding developers.  This has been done in Colorado and can be done in Jersey Township.
19 | No
20 | Make people clean up thie homes - Junk Cars etc.   No littering signs
21 | Poor Maintenance of properties - to much junk stacked up
22 | thanks you for developin this survey and soliciting the opinions of residents.  I think will be critical that you review the results of the survey with residents as well as the Direction you plan to take,  with respect to the Comprehensive Plan.  As a result of the survey so that residents can feel comfortable with the direction, the next step would then be to develop the Comprehensive Plan for review and approval by residents.
23 | Areas that are annexed should provide schools, and the school district should be changed No tax abatement for business  [NAME] sewars to be run more than 200' from current resident.
24 | The trash collection increased 40% all at once.  While fixed for 3 years my salary increases over 3 years whill not total 40%,  I see other adjacent communities with better rates.  If our services increae like this no one will be able to afford them.
25 | Thank you for involving us.
26 | Only that - I would like to konw why you will let them take over and change licking to franklin why would that be. What is wrong with leaving some farm land why should we lose what we have worked for. the old farmer who has been here be shoved out.
27 | Perhaps the township cannot control taxes but current taxes are out of control with this school system more tax increases or Wexner annexation would leave me no option but sell my property which i enjoy and work hard to upkeep.
28 | Dont take our rural environment away.
29 | Trash due to unkept property by renters of New Albany Co. 2 vacant houses - one owned by N.A. Co./one vacant - terrible shape unknown owner. We now have one small street - Lucille Lynd Rd with problems of break ins. Didn't have before when it was 161-Worthington Road.
30 | 4 way stop at Beech Rd. and Jug Street with flashing lights
31 | no
32 | Just clean up vacant property people who have land and don't care for it they need to mow and lean up the best they can or have it farmed.
33 | The township should do everything that it can to make natural gas available
34 | At the recent planning meeting it was made clear that the County is determined to force growth down our throat, this is criminal behavior in my opinion.  [NAME] and Bubb need to carfully consider their future.
35 | Zoning in hands of others?
36 | NO
37 | Licking County's involvement - Jersey Township government can't or won't stand up to big business - Most in Newark won' get involved unless it benefits them.
38 | No
39 | NO
40 | The people who are in charge need to be screened better. As long as dishonest incompetents like [NAME] remain in control, then the people of the Township are being mis-represented.
41 | Do not put commercial/industrial near residential areas
42 | I think it is extrememly important to protect the residences while planning retial/commercial/industrial growth.
43 | Our bigger concern is Rt 310 turning into another [NAME] Rd., along with that we are very concerned with Dominion or M/I or low cost, poorly built dense housing developments going in around us.
44 | Keep the 161 and Mink traffic light or at least give us a 4 way stop
45 | i don't want to see the township become just another area for big box stores and developers to profit from and look like most of Franklin County.
46 | I would like to see the village of Jersey expanded with locally owned businesses - restaurant?  Bed & Breakfast?  They just need better fire protection (Ha!) All kidding aside - it would be nice to have a central community village to anchor our township - along with expanding the township hall acreage to include a park/recreation area for local residents I think PUD's should be an important consideration in developing a zoning strategy - I think they can be used successfully to help retain agriculture/green space I also feel that developers should pay for the extension of water & sewer services Non-residential development is a must for securing additional tax dollars for schools without the burden of extra students
47 | We moved here for the environment that Jersey Township currently has and would like to see any/all growth be limited as much as possible.  We absolutley would like to avoid annexation, especially to New Albany.
48 | I don't understand why anyone would want development.  We move out here for the atmosphere and environment - Not because we hope it will develop someday down the road.  No one needs a large office building or a 300 Home Development backed up to their property line - Keep resisting and developers will pursue easier targets.  A fox will eventually stop chasing a rabbit if it can't catch it.
49 | This survey is long over due. [NAME] need to get with it or let New Albany take over the Twp.
50 | Control bird hunters hours & days to shoot birds  IE: No 7 AM on Saturdays  No Sunday Hunting
51 | Most of my land is unfarmable so unable to get the farming reduction for property TAXES.  (live in LH school district) which are outrageous.  One of the main reasons moved to this areas was the reasonable taxes. In the 15 years here taxes have more than tripled causing a financial hardship.
52 | We need a balance of rural with commercial and industrial.  We are all concerned about giving up our slice of beautiful county in order to gain more tax revenue for services and schools.  This survey is an excellent start and clearly indicatied the committees committment to Jersey's residents.  Thank You!
53 | Leave our community alon. Keep Wexnor out period Can not believe you let him in already  What a dissapointment
54 | How do you find out about township meetings?  I do not get local papers.  Hopefully its on the website now that I know there is one.  Why was it a secret?
55 | We enjoy the current set-up of Jersey twp.  We resist any more takeovers of big business and or Franklin County.  [NAME] and farm like.  [NAME] away from any further annexation and takeovers!!  ODOT and Franklin County have done too much already.
56 | Please advise by email of planning meetings and meeting such as the one that will be scheduled to [NAME] the survey. Newspaper notice is insufficient. Thank you.  (name and email removed)
57 | I really enjoy the rural setting in Jersey.  It is the main reason for our living here.    Thank You for the survey.
58 | I think the two cooridors offer exciting oppertunity for Jersey Township. Let's try to develop it so that it is an attraction rather than an eyesore. More like [NAME] and New Albany and less like [NAME] and Reynoldsburg.
59 | The results of this survey should be posted to a website for everyone to see.
60 | Township government has not been very agressive to get companies to bring services to the township like internet, Natural gas, digital cable.
61 | I'm suprised to see [NAME] and 161 being called a Major Intersection. And I'm not happy about it.  I didn't move to the county to live with box stores, car dealerships, tanning salons and Limite Brand warehouses  I do appreciate being given the chance to respond to these questions,  It gives me hope that the trustees will really listen to residents.  So Thank You
62 | Since ODOT has screwed the 161 residents, don't give them another chance for more screw ups.  As retired Senior citizens we are up to our necks in debt because of miserly manipulations of ODOT.  ([NAME])
63 | Open position on the Planning and Zoning boards
64 | I would encourage the development of an email data base of township residents so that Trustees can send direct messages.
65 | I live Jug Street area I like size lots, quiet, peacefulclean place to live, I am not in favor apartments, housing developments there's no water sewer for these and roads not up to this either, fire protection good, police take matter into own hands there way to slow, I want no part New Albany or Columbus I want no part water/sewer if its anything like [NAME], groth some be along Old 161
66 | Yes but i don't have time to elaborate.  My hometown in NE Ohio has developed nicely with family and individual opportunities as have our nearby communities  I teach in Worthington schools and it is night and day from here.
67 | There must be some way to make (name removed) on [NAME] clean up his crap and remove the campers and sleds.
68 | Overall, we know growth is going to happen but we need to be careful about what type of growth and the speed at which it happens.  Thank You.
69 | I would like to see another grocery besides Krogers.  I was sick when Village Market went under.  I would also like better restaurants.  Roosters, [NAME].  So I can stay in this area.  Bag of Nails would be great.
70 | Why is the mink St. intersection grouped with the 310 and Beech St. Intersections when we don't have an exit from new 161 (Thank Goodness)
71 | Please leave Twp. the way it is  I do not want to live in city! Thanks!
72 | Not right now
73 | No
74 | Yes, the conspiracy theorist in me is concerned that the "need for a new developmental" plan is based on the County's need for more tax dollars,  since this is always the case, regarding tax dollars, the best medication is withdrawl.  You people need to cut your spending in half, get out of the welfare business and let people take care of themselves
75 | Licking Heights school district is lacking and has a poor requtation.  The township needs to address this before residential housing will work.  The Township should not allow low income housing!!!!!!!
76 | We have no issues
77 | Feed back from this survey when, needs public review prior to moving ahead
78 | Nope
79 | Feedback from this survey  When needs public review proir to moving ahead  Do not work in a vacum.
80 | Comment: I would like to see and promote growth in Jersey Township along the corridor of [NAME] and new 161 but would like to see the residencial areas not to be infringed upon with industrial growth.
81 | High speed internet and recycling on Condit Dr.
82 | 1. need to address the exploding deer population. Have a plan to steralize deer in addition to increasing the number of deer taken during hunting season. 2. Have increased patrols by game warden as there are too many poachers and rogue hunters out there during hunting season. 3. Look at humane ways to control the growing feral can problem in rural areas.
83 | We need to keep the township affordable for the average income person.
84 | Not sure about grouping Mink Development in the same category as Beech and 310. Also would like to see if there is a way to ensure quality development similar to car dealer. We should not be like New Albany but we should compliment their development.
85 | Greed and Development have created our financial mess.  Just keep things as is.  Try to improve quality of life with parks, trails, playgrounds and better air quality.
