Comments I would like to appeal the request for additional occupancy of
the school at 1 Veteran's Way. I have lived across from the
school for almost 16 years and seen more problems than good
with those who visit.
Trespassing on private property, breaking furniture and littering
everywhere. My family and I have personally brought trash bins
down the road to pick up debris numerous times. In addition,
noise at all hours.
One big concern is no supervision of the children/young adults.
They seem to do what they please, despite complaints. There
are picnic tables and chairs set up along Loughberry Road
South which look awful. They are left broken, tipped over and
scattered through the wooded area. Trees are chopped down
and occasionally left slashed and bent over and broken in the
road. We were told years ago that some type of buffer would be
put to block some of the school (lights,noise) and year after
year, nothing has been done. The trees are diminishing due the
the students or camp children destructing the property.
An increase of the number of students will hurt the area and
street where I live. I apologize if they are not students, I was
told it was a school, but I am not sure. It seems like a camp and
sometimes buses and cars are there for one day while other
times it is for weeks. There might be some day use activity as
well. There are numerous busses that arrive at all hours
already and I wonder if the existing capacity permits are even
checked. Is their any oversight by anyone? I can keep talking
about this unfortunate request that is being proposed. I don't
think it should be done. I have not seen benefits in the
educational system or experience the school is portraying. The
destruction of the area has not benefited any of us that live on
the street. The students there do not seem supervised are are
not engaged in organized activities, which increases mischief. It
seems like a free for all and is unsettling for my family and I.
Thank you for listening.
