Elk Grove Homeowners Wary Of Development
Elk Grove Homeowners Wary Of Development Community Meetings Planned POSTED: 4:57 pm PST March 22, 2005 UPDATED: 6:18 pm PST March 22, 2005 ELK GROVE, Calif. -- As communities expand across Northern California, one of the gambles of moving into a new home is what will happen to the open space behind your house? Some Elk Grove homeowners are not pleased about the plans for a 40-acre, open area between Bond Road and Camden Park. It's a site where high-density housing could be built. But that would be over neighbors' objections. Their biggest concern is that the development's main entrance could come off of an already very busy Bond Road. "They can't make that road any bigger than it is right now. And adding another road onto there, and if it's a high-density housing, that's a lot more cars on the road," said neighbor Kat Chappell. Some neighbors whose property backs up to the area say they were told the wetlands would remain open space. Many homeowners even installed wrought-iron fences to utilize the view. "They have to have so many acres allotted for this high-density housing. Low-income housing, I understand that. I just don't want it in my back yard," Chappell said. MORE>>
