Development or Abandonment?

It was said on the Vassar Township Common Sense Facebook page by the mother of one of the board members that "the final purposed development would result in a lake and 15 building sites for new homes".

I would like to share what a planning commission member said in response to her nonsense: "No former pit in the township has ever to my knowledge been made into lots for homes, sold and occupied.  Drive around the township and you will see examples of former pits in various states of reclamation but none that are being used as a center for housing".  I agree with the planning commission member.  Does anyone out there know of a former pit that has been made into housing?  From my experience I have only seen abandoned pits. 

This planning commission member was the voice of reason at the last meeting when they voted to deny Mr. Gilling's special use permit.

The board member's Momma doesn't know what she is talking about.  In fact, she has a one sided view of a sand and gravel pit.  Are they still leasing property to a sand and gravel operation?
