This plan has problems. He que tions the prefix "NEO" and the <br /> definition of .rural village as one with'1,00 homes. He feels that people <br /> are not going. to abandon their cars and sta within the area to do their <br /> shopping. He feels that if the developers b ild the village center first, <br /> that the concept of the village would be more eal. However, the first stage <br /> includes the golf course and the second stn is still upscale. He feels <br /> that there will be an overburden of the resour es and a general deterioration <br /> of the quality of life. The ideal would be 60 1 homes on this 629 acre tract. <br /> He felt that this development should be place on 629 acres near Cary and not <br /> in orange County. <br /> KAREN BLY who lives on New Hope Ch, h Road spoke against the plan.. <br /> She is outraged and is firmly against it. he does not believe that all <br /> these people are going to live in this littl village and never go to work-- <br /> and that there will be enough jobs in this 1 ttle village for everyone not <br /> to travel downtown or New Hope Church Roa or University Station.
