apt_dweller, Exactly, I had the pleasure and honor of meeting Butch Elzey yesterday, and it was great, we both parted saying it felt like we had been friends for years. We plan on attending a few of these meetngs oursevles and rattling a few cages, rather than in the forum.
Milfordian if you want you can forward me that "note" through here in Private Message. Thanks and great talking to you yesterday

Let's see...
Maybe they forgot their password?
Or the old username got boring ( like a pair of shoes) and it was time for a new one?
Then again, maybe they wanted to say things that would sound contradictory coming from the old username so they created a new username to say those things.
Or they created a new user to post support for them so it looks like other forum members actually agree with their opinions. ( Sock Puppets).

I remember a meeting that was held a couple years ago to discuss annexing the properties east of RT. 1. Nearly everybody in Cedar Neck came out to oppose the annexation - the only ones in favor were the owners of the properties to be annexed and then sold to developers. Numbers of people spoke out repeatedly against bringing this mess into their very cherished neighborhood and lifestyle.
After several hours of comments, then Councilman Kramlich stood up and delivered a lengthy reprise that had obviously been prompted by Uncle Dicky. He stated that he had not heard a reason not to annex. Unbelievable! He only heard about a hundred of them that night! How foolish. And the mentality of the current council hasn't changed. City limits has no business east of RT 1. Leave the farmland and the country life alone! I'm so sick of big pockets developers and government employees who get kickbacks, changing the lifestyles of people they don't know, and certainly don't care about.
It's amazing to me how they will financially rape the public for a dollar.

our electric is too high because we need the profit we make on electric to pay our other bills.
as to city hall. well,we made 27 changes ...overpaid about 800 thousand dollars more than originally allocated.
thats good, because it gave the workers more overtime and work and the more we spend the more we help the economy.
we are very gratefull to the city council for allways having lots of cash on hand.
we had a margin call for two million dollars recently.
our finance committee was on the ball. they said, no problem..
they even did it so fast, they did not know why or where the money was going.
we even today have no control over our electric. it is handled by dmec and they should not show milford the contracts they signed.
after all, why should milford city council see how and what dmec signed and dealed in electic for our behalf??.
all we need to know is, we approved that 45 million dollar letter of credit for dmec.
had to , to get back the two million.
now thats smart over sight.

| Lewes and Milton have more downtown businesses than Milford. It is possible to have a quaint, vibrant downtown but it requires political will which the slum lords, real estate developers and good ol' boys on city council ( and the people who actually run the place--like Dickie) do not have. They just want to keep Milford poor and stupid so no one asks questions like why our electric is so high and why did we spend 2 million dollars renovating city hall that is used once a month?

STOP right there. You sound like a liberal, give it away type. We have had enough. We have enough section 8 housing. We don't need vermin that want to rape the area. We need to get the city to get right not bring in more low paid or no paid, living off the tax payer with 16 houses per acre housing.

just remember, if we can reduce the cost of a house cost to build for the builder, he can make a bigger profit and economics drips down towards the common man.
don't worry if you home value drops because of no sidewalks, parking, or even open space.
we do not need box stores or other big chains or even industry that creates jobs.
its the builders we must protect from those others.

you do not see the big picture that we in milford see.
we believe we can buy houses cheap, rent them to others who pay electric, water, sewer, and any other charges we can think of.
we, the true thinkers, don't want to live in milford we want to have others live in milford.
if we can get low income housing, affordable houses for those with limited incomes, even if we can take money from the city council to pay for housing the homeless it will help milford.
why we could even take those from lincoln, harrington, you name the surrounding area put them all into milford.
example of our great thinking.
at recent planning board meeting they approved two lots that did not meet code for size. they even approved one without sidewalks even if the code says, sidewalks.
if the city council wants sidewalks because its in the code, don't change the code, just get the council to approve projects in violations of their own code.
its more important in these bad economic times to break the rules for builders because they create construction jobs and get tax payers into the fold.

1) Who pays for the infrastructure sewer/water lines crossing US Rt 1 ?
Answer: Milford taxpayers that already own property in Milford annexed and unannexed
2) 1 acre = 43,560 square feet 16 lots per acre = 2722.50 square feet
Putting this in perspective the average 3 bedroom ranch is 1,650 square feet. There is currently a 4 bedroom home for sale I looked at that is is 300 square feet bigger than the proposed lot size. The home also is located on 1 1/2 acres
Using those numbers: 1 1/2 acres = 24 new homes
3) Low income housing isn't $200,000 + the average price of a home in Heartstone I ( based on Heartstone Manor I prices that I have seen )
There will not be a reduction in cost to the current Milford taxpayers that is foolish to even assume that. More residents means more municipal services needed; police, fire, schools, hospitals, upgrades to the electric sewer and water systems, an overpass at RT 1 and Wilkins Road. Who will pay the cost for all this ?
The current Milford, County, and State of Delaware taxpayers. That doesn't factor in the environmental impact to the surrounding area or the increased flow of traffic, in the immediate area.
In my personal opinion The only party/parties who benefit from this proposterous proposal is the developer and the subsidiary companies owned by the developer. In this case Key Property Group , Countrywide Homes.
I am vehemently opposed to any such proposals and will not support any such propsals at the local, county and state levels.

It would be really nice to see the downtown thriving with businesses and restaurants like the good old days but sadly I don't see growth taking place there. It seems like everything is headed to the west where Wal-Mart is and to the south-east where this place known as "New Milford" supposedly is. I still haven't figured that one out. Honestly I think Dave is a good guy and he's got a decent agenda. I'm an old-schooler who thinks things should be downtown and it's just not possible these days -- with malls and shopping centers in easy-to-access areas. Doesn't hurt to have a "little something" downtown though...
The name "New Milford" and the connotation/implied meaning is and should be a slap in the face to any resident of Milford especially to those families who were born and raised here. It implies that there is something wrong with the Old Milford, which in my personal opinion is a wonderful community. I agree about the downtown area and I can't for the life of me understand why there is no revitalization plans in place or being seriously discussed.
We need more residents in attendance at the council and planning meetings who aren't afraid to speak up. If someone doesn't want to speak up but agrees that the over development and unfulfilled "promises" made by any developer should not be tolerated anymore, anywhere within the community of Milford, they should attend as well to show support.
I can not understand why residents are just laying down like doormats and allowing the systematic destruction of our beautiful community all in the name of the all mighty US dollar.
Any board member who has a potential personal monetary or other gain regarding any aspect of proposed developments, or whether their family members are builders, contractors, realtors, or property owners, should recuse themselves from any matter that comes before them on any board involved in the permitting process. It is a conflict of interest and in violation of the Milford and state code of ethics in my personal opinion.
