I hope you are right. We have local people doing all the plans, etc. Everything has been a great experience except when 2 neighbors showed up yelling at the commission. Not so sure I want to live there now.....
Also, it wouldn’t hurt to check with the state EPA to see if they have any restrictions re wetlands development. We had a few cases where the county allowed building and several years later the state came in and made the owners remove the structures (fortunately, they weren’t the houses themselves but rather outbuilding, fences).
That might be their strategy to remain unbothered by more neighbors; act unpleasant enough and no one will want to be near them.
If your name is not Kennedy, you might wat to consider a name change!
As an afterthought, what was the substance of the yelling?
This has been my experience with the local gov. Good luck.
Change the plans to include a gun range.
