Towne Creek housing density and Kilby Shores Elementary overcrowding
Suffolk
Summary
A developer wants 17 more homes at the Holland Road subdivision, but neighbors and several commissioners say Kilby Shores Elementary is already over capacity and the single exit onto Route 58 is already a mess. The commission tied 4-4, so City Council will decide October 21 — with school mitigation cash rising to about $832,000.
