As long as the recreation department is satisfied, and the needs are met, that's fine with me. I understand the developer not wanting to put public recreation areas on a private site.

Developers look at it form the stand point of their client. Do people want their water systems tied to others? They want to best serve those people buying the houses.

I'm speaking towards the conceptual plan (that Quinlan is proposing), but I definitely think this project is something that town should pursue. There's not enough information yet, and I don't know if he can engineer proper septic systems and if it will be environmentally safe, but I think the town is doing the right thing by exploring the possibilities.

Nothing is set in stone, but developers are seeming to build these cookie cutter sub-divisions there are not creative. There's no old New England look, like a Colonial worth $300,000 next to a bungalow or another house worth $500,000. They all look the same, and I'd like to see something different, but that's me personally. You can't blame developers trying to make a profit, and you can't stop them. Everything has to be the same because material is bought in bulk.

We've talked to Justice, and we think what they're doing is tremendous.

It's obvious, if you just look at the substance of the legislation that's been offered, we're in the cross hairs of a lot of what's going on in Washington. This industry has got to recognize that pretty quickly, or we're going to be in bad shape.
