“Right now the developer could construct 575 homes and would be required to build a new road to Barg Salt Run Road.

The proposed project includes 40 percent of the land being placed in greenspace, a new public park, road and sewer improvements to Rumpke Road, new sidewalks along Rumpke Road, and intersection improvements at Rumpke and Old Ohio 74, he said. The Nature Center’s position is, the township trustees should adhere to the consent decree and limit the number of residential units to 575, he wrote.īut at least one trustee, John McGraw, called the decree a bad deal for residents. “The Nature Center believes the additional 1,000 residences will have a detrimental effect on the Avey’s Run habitat due to excessive surface run-off and increased sewage flows to the Shephard Road sanitary lift station which pumps sewage across the Rowe Woods property,” he said in a post on Nextdoor. This plan significantly deviates from the consent decree that limits the number of residences to 575, according to Cincinnati Nature Center Executive Director Bill Hopple.
