Purnell Crossing homeowners show up to Planning Comm.

Purnell Crossing homeowners continued to express their frustrations over a proposed rental development on an adjacent property at the Berlin Planning Commission meeting last Wednesday.

The item was not listed on the agenda, but Planning Director Dave Engelhart and members of the commission allowed people to speak during public comment section of the meeting.

“We’ll be here at every meeting until it’s over with,” said resident Judy Hudson.

Landowner and Town Councilman Troy Purnell was also in the audience, and said the project’s builder Justin White, of Live Oak Builders, needed more time and “didn’t feel comfortable submitting” some of the sketches.

“They had postponed it for a month, I thought everybody knew,” Purnell said.

Neighborhood residents met with Purnell and White in April to discuss the project off Old Ocean City Boulevard and Sunlight Lane.

Get ready for low income housing to bring in riffraff and bring in crime and bring down your property values... Also if I am not mistaking, isn't a conflict of interest for a council member to own land and sit on the council they plan to use tax dollars for a project??? or helped push for things to help this councilmen pocket?
