There won't be 2000 condos/houses. Think Ford Plantation with championship golf course not a Mainstreet or Buckhead.
Why is the county spending our local property taxes to build a sewage treatment facility for this new construction? The county taxpayers are getting ripped off again by another developer. Why not require the developer to build and pay for it, just like streets, curbs, and gutters?
In this case the developer is paying for it. They will build the treatment plant and spray fields. However, I suspect that you will get ripped off when the county eventually runs the water and sewer lines right past the 500 acres that Murphy and friends want to develop, this is the land adjacent to Toby's Taj Mahal a/k/a County Admin Building and the SPLOST Park. Things like this are being discussed at County Commission meetings now. Take a peak at the next agenda and go see for yourself. The minutes posted on line do not begin to tell the story.
Well imagine that. Why of course they will approve the addition of 2000 more cars on 144 every morning, and they will get free water sewer mains placed right on their door step and they don't have to approve them for themselves directly. That development will be one of the worst things that happens to South Bryan County. It is bad enough they want to put a housing development on the doorsteps of the county landfill, anyone want to drink well water from that place? Good ole boy system never dies.
Keep in mind STMT is talking about Murphy's ALREADY APPROVED PUD across from Burnt Church Cemetery next to the SPLOST PARK. One more reason you should never vote to tax yourself a/k/a SPLOST. Take away the good old boy's slush funds. There is already a gas station proposed for one corner of the road that goes into the SPLOST PARK. Won't it be nice to be able to buy your cokes and beer before you get to the game? There was so much trading of land with Murphy that the county didn't realize that in the end they didn't own the 4 corners going into the SPLOST PARK. A major Gotcha by Murphy and gang. Waterways is planned to be an upscale gated community. One thing that is amazing to me is that Bryan County has never enacted impact fees. However, if my memory serves me correctly, Waterways will have to pay into Toby's recreation fund $300.00 per building permit, they will be required to purchase a ladder truck to add to our arsenal of fire trucks and possibly a fire station at their location and I think there are a few more things in the grab bag of requirements that the county has placed on them. Waterways give back. Terra Point gave 100 acres for school. Murphy and gang with blessings of Toby and gang take away and in the end it will cost you probably in increased school taxes and add more congestion to our already overloaded Highway 144.
I would like to know why we can't get an investigative reporter to put this stuff together in a series of articles and run them in the paper, or if our local one can't do it, then in the Savannah paper. More exposure is needed on this back slapping deal making for these developers.
