They’d have to address grade issues and whether/not their structures obstruct views. They’d have to address wastewater runoff and containment.
Hell, they’d have to delve into specifics concerning how their development will impact the surrounding area regarding noise and traffic – disclose how many employees they’d be hiring, from where, and where they’d be living and where their kids would be attending school and where/how those employees would do things like eat lunch or fuel their cars or catch the bus or whatever.
Yep – many things go into big developments and they don’t start out by faxing a quickie-request or pencil sketch on a napkin. Let him spend the next 8 years and 12 million doing all the studies to support his proposal and I’ll believe he’s something other than a blowhard.
