Your proposal plans to more than double the population of a relatively small village with a distinct character. While provisions need to be made for new housing, any development should fit with the existing character of the area as much as possible, and not create undue burdens on existing residents and infrastructure.
While West Horndon has access to public transportation, it is short-sighted and unjust to put 43% of new development in a town that currently accounts for 2% of the Borough's population.

Creating new residences should be a priority of the Borough, however any development should not create an undue negative impact on existing residents who have made the Borough their home. Your development proposes to fundamentally change the character of West Horndon, and negatively impact the property values and character of existing residences.
