A public hearing at Quispam Council showing strength in numbers… a proposal to build two twelve unit apartment buildings at 309 Hampton Road being rejected at Council after a mixed vote and hearing public concerns.
Multiple residents voiced their concerns about losing privacy, increased traffic, and noise if the area changed from residential to multiple residential.
Ray McCaskill lives across from the proposed location. He tells CHSJ news they’re not against growth, just not in that area on Hampton Road. He says a lot of people moved in that area because it was residential and adding the apartment buildings would turn it more commercial.
Quispamsis Council listened to both the developer, Murray Thompson Homes, and residents. Mayor Murray Driscoll says at the end of the day most of council felt it wasn’t fit for the property, with three Councillors for and five against.
The developer wouldn’t comment.
