No construction road on public trail in Whitemarsh PA
Contact the author of the petition
The Hill has already created flooding issues within the area and now we are looking at traffic tie ups and safety concerns for citizens... End the madness!
Because developers shouldn't have more rights than residents.
Dangerous plan. The Hill should use own road instead of exporting the negative health, safety, and welfare impact to Flourtown road.
one big swindle
this project is one big swindle, masterminded by Ross Weiss of the law firm Cozen O'Connor, representing the slum lords, the Hill at Whitemarsh. Kim Sheppard of the Whitemarsh Foundation, who should be a steward of this land, remains silent on this issue. For shame!
cunning, sneaky, bullies!
i was at the Shade Tree commission and the Hill asked for some very outlandish waivers. They wanted to cut down all the trees and replant way less than was required (it's because their tenemants are too big!). Then they had the brass nuts to ask for a waiver to replant trees that were WAY smaller than required.
is this how Cozen Oconner defines "neighborly"?
at the Shade Tree meeting one of the residents said, "currently my view is of an open pasture and some cows..." when Ross Weiss of Cozen Oconner interrupted him and said, "yeah, that's going away."
Whitemarsh Township, this is your time of greatness
I am pleading with Whitemarsh Township to stand up for itself and its residents. Don't let the greedy, selfish Hill at Whitemarsh turn our township into Norristown. Send them back to the drawing board to build something fitting, safe, and respectful of the beautiful, leafy town that is Lafayette Hill. Don't fall for their tricks. It's not too late. Shrink the buildings, stop the construction road, ensure the right trees are replaced.
Why is the Hill not required to use the current Hill entrance off of Thomas Road? Why? Because it would disturb their residents? Maybe they should have thought if this prior to building the first phase? If the path is Township property there should be no reason for residents to lose use if it or have it used by a builder.
Conflict of interest
"Today, about one quarter of the [Whitemarsh] Foundation's operating budget is funded by contributions from the Hill at Whitemarsh." The Foundation, run by Kim Sheppard, has no business making deals with the Hill. Totally crooked. We are being taken for fools...country bumpkins. Hopefully the new Supervisiors are smart enough to see through it all.
Seems like a simple solution for The Hill. Be a good neighbor and Use your own road for your long term construction project. If not, build a "temporary" construction road on Hill property. Flourtown road can't handle a construction road entry point with large trucks turning on and off six days week for two plus years. Flourtown Road is already congested with poor sightlines due to hills. My kids school buses use Flourtown road. Super dangerous, dumb idea.
