[quote=Anonymous]The people saying that development is closed, or building is not allowed when a school is over capacity (even over 92 seats an at ES 6 years out), are incorrect. The Planning Board did away with moratorium a few years back. They also did away with the impact taxes builders pay when this happens, because they suggested an increase in recordation taxes (progressive) instead (because they said overcrowding was from turnover in single family homes, not from development). Except the county council received pushback from the Association of Realtors, and never increased the recordation tax. In summary: - unlimited building allowed, no moratoriums -school CIP budget in a downward spiral (no impact taxes) -affordable housing and more housing is what they all care about, not overcrowded schools[/quote]
