She said she feels the plan to be ill conceived and that the information provided was very sketchy. Mrs. Glavin said there was not much information available as to what kind of public safety features or concerns the developer was presenting toward building so many single family homes right on the railroad track and also not much information presented with regard to the Howell Creek coming through the plan and the houses built along the banks of the Creek. She said there are some very serious public safety concerns with regard to people ingressing and egressing through the backyards onto the tracks.
