Why would you promote changing basic regulations like making locks lot size in an R 2 zoning district thirty foot wide when almost all of the properties are at least forty foot wide or fifty foot wide.
4:10:35
Instead of sixty foot wide in in R1.2 zones like in the pond set when they already are.

And then the next question is why would you promote the construction of apartment buildings all over these fragile neighborhoods with poor infrastructure and and especially in the DOD over zone overlay.

We're talking about areas that already have problems with their infrastructure, already have problems with overcrowded schools.

We're looking to downsize class sizes, yet we're trying to put more people into these already densely populated communities.
