1983
By SHEILA HODGES
Post Correspondent
At a meeting called by Tom and Debbie Hadzor, the
concerned residents of E. Center Hill Road, Church St.
and Claude St. discussed the proposed building of
townhouses on the land currently owned by Mr. and
Mrs. Howard Samuels.
The land measures approximately two acres and the
proposal is to build 14 row house dwellings, to house
approximately 70 new residents. This would almost
double the occupancy of that area which now has only
single unit houses in the part of Dallas bounded by these
three streets.
The concerns of the residents were finally categorized
three ways: safety, population and whether or not the
area’s water and sewerage could cope with the extra
demand that doubling the population would create.
Many of the current residents have small children and
Road, a road that is already inadequate for the traffic
using it, would make it even more dangerous. There is
1school bus stop used at the busiest time of the morning
when people are going to work. The road is also without
sidewalks and it is the only route to the Dallas Township
School used by the youngest children. It is estimated
that 14 extra families would bring approximately 30
extra cars which would enter and leave the development
at East Center Hill Rd.
As already stated, the population is expected to
double, and in a very concentrated area. The residents
are worried about noise pollution in addition to the other
problems that come with high density housing. With
seven units per acre, the density would be close to that
found in city areas. It was felt that it could easily
develop into a ‘ghetto’ in time.
The residents felt that the developers would have to
show conclusive evidence that the existing water supply
and sewerage facilities would be adequate to serve the
extra housing. They were also concerned as to how and
where the drainage of the area would be carried out.
Mr. Ritts felt that people should be informed of drainage
plans as no one wanted the additional surface water
running out onto their property.
It was noted that there was a meeting of the Dallas
Township Planning Commission on July 19 and it was
suggested that all interested parties attend. All those
present were urged to call on their neighbors to attend
this meeting and to voice their opinions. It was also
obvious that more information should be sought, possi-
bly to the extent of obtaining advice from a real estate
attorney. :
