Developers look at it form the stand point of their client. Do people want their water systems tied to others? They want to best serve those people buying the houses.

As long as the recreation department is satisfied, and the needs are met, that's fine with me. I understand the developer not wanting to put public recreation areas on a private site.

I'm speaking towards the conceptual plan (that Quinlan is proposing), but I definitely think this project is something that town should pursue. There's not enough information yet, and I don't know if he can engineer proper septic systems and if it will be environmentally safe, but I think the town is doing the right thing by exploring the possibilities.
