THAT THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION WAS TO BE FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES. THE R-2 ZONING WHICH IS COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY R-1 ZONING IS NEITHER IN CONFORMITY WITH THE MASTER PLAN CURRENTLY IN EXISTENCE NOR THE PROPOSED MASTER PLAN, WHICH CALLS FOR LOW DENSITY IN THIS AREA. COLONIAL TERRACE RESIDENTS, MANY OF WHOM USE THEIR OWN WELLS FOR DRINKING WATER ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROPOSAL TO HAVE FOUR UNITS PER 1/2 ACRE ON SEPTIC TANKS AND WELLS BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF POLLUTION. THE IMPACT OF THE TRAFFIC THAT WOULD BE GENERATED WOULD CAUSE AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION.
