Approximately 50 families living in the immediate area are reported to have signed the protest petition which expresses concern for traffic congestion, water drainage, building attached units in a residential neighborhood and safety for area children. Spearheading the protest move- ment are Debbie and Tom Hadzer whose home on Center Hill Road is adjacent to Carden Road, a pres- ently undeveloped right-of-way which is slated to become the only access road to the new develop- ment.
