The Kali Drive Debate

Latest Update - County must approve plan for 254-unit Eldersburg project

What are your thoughts about the Kali Drive Development project?


The Issue - Security Development LLC has been trying to build a 254-unit rental town home community at Kali Drive and Ridge Road in Eldersburg for several years. Recently the County Commissioners who have voted down the project have been threatened with contempt of court.

What Eldersburg.Net Readers are saying:

We think the Carroll Co Planning & Zoning Comm have done a wonderful job and we thank them for doing everything they could to stop this terrible thing. We think the rental units should be built in the Judge's back yard and that if the Kali Dr property must be developed, put commercial there that would benefit all of us who live here.

Eldersburg is devloping mush too quickly. New schools already plan to utilize trailers before they're even built. Route 32 can't keep pace with the increase in traffic congestion. Why do we keep building in this already overcrowded prtion of Carroll County?

The Eldersburg community remains environmentally distressed and continues to lack the proper EMS services. Commercial development, is the only development beneficial to this community and residents of the future.

Don't like all the new neighborhoods, the town has not been planned properly for all the traffic!

It is another shameless action by an activist judge to overrule the desire of the people. Shame on you Judge Galloway! Let the people who live in the area decide how they want their community to evolve. That's what ELECTED officials are for.

Hmm, I think I may just have to move. There are already too many cars on Ridge Rd ~ this will only make it worse. The schools are already at capacity, with trailers. Too many new people will be introducted with 250 rental units. Why not build single family homes?

Unfortunately, the courts failed the residents of Eldersburg and forced the hand of the Planning and Zoning Commission. I don't see how the roads, utilities and schools can handle the influx of residents that will come from building a residential property of this scale. I hope that through the appeals process, a solution can be reached that will take into account the residents currently living in affected area.

Eldersburg is going to be one big parking lot soon - no one will be able to go anywhere with all the traffic these homes will create.

Go back in time and take away the rights.
