Milfordian,
there have been some small blurbs in the Chronicle, where the story came from about the new Key group. There was also a very tiny mention about the swale issue (where the goats had been last year) and Elmer's refusal to fix it, in the story about the council meeting.
Key is having an open house celebrating the opening of the new office on Oct 24th I believe. I like crashing parties..... ......
Even after issues like these that make the Sound Off column the ball gets dropped, which in and of itself is an issue.

| I have a feeling that's why Greg left-- because the good ol' boys of Milford were tired of someone asking tough questions. I sure miss Mr. Greg Layton! Last edited on Mon Oct 20th, 2008 06:45 pm by Just Me

Wouldn't it be great if we had a local paper that would report these types of stories? You know that editors of both papers check in here once in a while, why not pick up on some of these issues and investigate and report it.
The Chronicle had an editor a couple years ago, Greg Layton, who would have run with these stories but he's gone and I guess the current staff is either scared to ask tough questions or they are instructed not to.
Maybe they are too busy with grand openings.
Let's see if this reply makes it into the sound off section....

Red,
I am a property owner and our property abutts Hearthstone Manor. When I first started posting about Hearthstone 1 year ago nobody believed what I was saying, because I wasn't a native. So I thank you for taking the time to find out for yourself, it certainly substantiates what I have been saying for the last year.
The Shawnee Acres Homeowners Association tried to discuss the flooding of properties in Shawnee Acres along Valley Forge Drive/Lexington Drive (we looked at one home on Lexington Drive before we bought ours and passed on it due to the very obvious repeated flooding). The flooding only started after Hearthstone Manor was built. It fell on deaf ears, and the association doesn't have the financial power to take KPG on.
Just as Elmer Fannin made them remove the pipes the city installed in the "swales" that were incorrectly constructed. KPG is only in the business to make a profit they could care less about anything or anyone else.

Call Councilman Spillane and he will give you a tour of Hearthstone Manor of New Milford.  He'll tell you of the nightmare with Gemcraft and Country Life Homes / Key Properties. Let him tell you about Hearthstone II. Then talk to others. First I thought he didn't know what he was talking about he open my eyes. Look at what the city is doing to take some of the council person
Why was the economic committee formed three or four times with Clifford Couch as the chairman use the city resources and now Clifford Couch resign from city council and working for Mr. Fannin/Key Properties. The Chamber and DMI should be upset.
What is the city doing to it own downtown I believe destroying it.
We trust to many people to protect us. we are the only ones who can protect us.

While the downtown businesses are struggling to bring shoppers to their stores, and to the downtown area, Key Properties works directly against them.
New jobs for whom the contractors and the employees Key Properties has ?
Innovation Park east of Route 1, and Heartstone Centre on the corner of RT 30 and Wilkins Rd are their 2 first projects.
All anyone has to do is read the paper, talk to abutting neighbors, read KPG proposals from the Milford meetings (every proposal is maximum density allowed). If thats not enough drive through
to learn who Key Properties cares about, it sure as heck isn't the community, or residents of Delaware as they claim on their homepage of their website:
"KPG is committed to the highest level of planning to ensure the quality of life most beneficial to those who live and work throughout the state of Delaware."
Tell that to the homeowners in Shawnee Acres who deal with the flooding of their properties since Heartstone Manor was built.
New name, same agenda take away from the revitalization of downtown Milford while profitting from other small business owners losses, how commendable.
Some of Keys property listings:
Approximately 200 acres of unimproved Institutional Service Land conveniently located just off Route 1 in Milford, Delaware. The 200 acre parcel is located in a rural setting within a thirty minute drive of most Delaware Beaches and shore attractions. Located just twenty minutes south lies the Atlantic Ocean, on which are located the well known beach resorts of Lewes, Rehoboth, Bethany and Ocean City, Maryland. Won't be rural once key gets done, 30 minutes south to the Atlantic Ocean, basic geography tells me the Atlantic Ocean is east of Milford and Slaughter Beach, and Prime Hook Wildlife reservation is less than 15 minutes from Milford. One can merely assertain what Key focuses on is the big money spenders not the blue collar folks of the community.
Walnut Street 45± acres zoned R-3
Permitting 16 units per acre. 16 units per acre now there is great quality of life, and will the open space be runoff containment ponds like in Heartstone Manor. I doubt any of the 3 members of this new group live in home located on 1/16 of an acre.
