BERLIN – The Berlin Planning Commission voted 5-1 not to support a request to rezone commercial property near the intersection of routes 818 and 50.
The commission will forward a request to rezone 25 acres of commercial property on to the Berlin Town Council with an unfavorable recommendation. The rezoning has been proposed to allow for a 176-unit townhouse development on the site.
Several citizens and the owner of a local airplane business voiced opposition to the rezoning.
“I don’t want my head on a pike for voting yes to this,” commission member Ron Cascio said.
In October, developer Chris Carbaugh approached the commission to share plans for a 176-unit townhouse development on 25 acres at Route 818’s intersection with Route 50 westbound. He said in order for the project to move forward, he was seeking a rezoning of the land to R-4 residential. The property’s zoning designation was changed in 2020 from industrial to commercial at Carbaugh’s request.
Good for Berlin. If they had not voted against this rezoning the town of Berlin would have become an immigrant city just as Salisbury is about to become one.
The stores in and around Salisbury are all full of illegals, of course with food stamps, SNAP, EBT, whatever they are called now. It is so disgusting while we have people sleeping outside in this weather and get no help, but by golly, the illegals sure to get a soft landing.
AMEN!
I was in Food Lion on Snow Hill Road today and it was filled with illegals. None of them spoke any English, just jibber jabbing back and forth. I would guess they were Afghanis as they were not Hispanic or Haitian. Who the hell knows? They have illegally poured in here from 160 different countries!!!!!
