Tonight, the Hebron Commissioners Voted in favor of rezoning Waller Landing as a Planned Neighborhood District to be effective January 15, 2010.
After the rezoning vote, the Hebron Town Commissioners voted to approve the Waller Landing Master Plan with 1,571 housing units plus 200 Assisted Living minus the houses along Porter Mill Road to allow for a buffer. Included in the Master Plan is 450,000 square foot of commercial space (restoring 50,000 sq feet of commercial removed by the Planning Commission).
This vote was taken although the Hebron Commissioners have NO idea where EDUs will be found for water and with NO idea how the wastewater will be handled.
After two plus years of attendance at meetings and numerous speakers in opposition to Waller Landing at EVERY public hearing, there were NO concessions made to the public
After the developers forfeited LLC matter being brought up at the last meeting, the public brought up that the Resident Agent they listed on their new documents was a bogus address and so tonight the developers knew they had to fix that and submitted new documents tonight. Dumb and Dumber.

This is why I live in the Hebron/Mardela area. It is peaceful and small. Well I quess the greedy developers have brainwashed the Hebron council into thinking this is the thing today. Kiss this area goodbye as we have known it for years.
These people would sell their soul if they thought it had value

Its like that all over. I moved to Pittsville 6 years ago and when I looked out my front door I saw corn fields. Now I see cracker jack houses on 1/4 acre lots. At least I got my 1.63 acres. with no houses behind me. Progress is what it is. will there people moving into those houses in Hebron? Maybe those escpaping Salisbury?
Well ah, I think y'all are let'n dis git waaay outa hand. Dis'l be good fur the com-munity, width the more taxes and all. Maybe we can buy one of dem ole fire trucks from da city. We can pump da sludge into Bearing Creek like da city tooo.
OMG, they are also going to provide jobs for many folks around here. Now that is Sacrilege!!!!
Did the Wicomico county water and sewer master plan include this project?
Did the town's and Wicomico County's comprehensive plans include this change and were they approved by MDE/MDP?
Has a preliminary discharge point been approved for the WasteWater Plant? Does the preliminary plant study take into account any TMDL's
Finally has the necessary financial agreements been executed. There will be no grant funds for this a it is growth or development and probably exceeds the 20% allowed to be dialed in. Me thinks the financial arrangements already drawn up will ultimately keep this project from moving forward unless the Town of Hebron has deep pockets. But the Bank of Hebron can finance it for all parties.!!
The most amazing part of this situation is that the developers are moving forward with a project which, statistically, has no chance of success. Why would anybody IN THEIR RIGHT MIND contemplate starting a housing development in this market?
It makes no sense at all. Hebron has lost their mind, collectively, as well.
Joe, you can't fight developers in this county. What happened here has happened numerous times in the past in Wicomico county. That is why the good ole boy network is as strong as ever.
Frustrated
12:21 and their families to.
How much money are the tax payers forking over for this, are there exemptins just like "cottages at riverside"? The tax payers are forking over money for sewer,water,roads,etc... Where are all these kids going to attend school? Mark my words this project will have trouble selling single family homes and it will change into a total assisted living community in time. They worry about a stand-pipe for history purposes and now Hebron does this. Here comes the Wal-Mart.
A goverment "of the people,by the people and for the people" sure about that.
Oh my, bye-bye Hebron. Hello just-like-any-county on the western shore. Idiots.
Hey Joe, just an FYI to you and your readers...I caught wind that the builder for Heron Ponds in Delmar just folded! I'm pretty sure that this is true, but could you verify and inform folks? Supposedly they were still taking deposits on homes... Waller Landing's future could look similar in this housing market-IDIOTS!
Dave is that the one behind Hardees on 54?
Yes it is
I find it terribly ironic that when a development like this is proposed, everyone is adamantly opposed. However, when a proposed county wide zoning change, (that would curb the very developments everyone complains about), comes before the council everyone screams, "You can't take away my property rights".
You can't be anti-development and pro-development at the same time. Choose a side and stick to it. We all should be willing to give up some development potential if we want this county to remain rural.
Don't worry. There is no market for this development and the developers are out of town novices. They have another development in Delmar, Delaware that's also floundering. They'll be gone soon enough.
anonymous 9:33, you're wrong. The only developer failing in the one off Rt. 54 on the Maryland side across from Rt. 13 East.
