We do not believe that a solely incentive-based, or overlay, approach will adequately encourage the kinds of development that the plan envisions because developers need guarantees that surrounding properties will support the design and use of their property if they are to build high-quality, walkable projects.
A visionary approach to preserving the rural character of Joppa is needed.
This approach should include tools such as restoring family conveyance laws to their original limited purposes, new design standards that are tailored to the rural nature of Joppa, and a reconsideration of whether one house per ten acre zoning is adequate for agricultural zones.

 Cabinet.com | Sports fields at Joppa hinge on one vote   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
On July 16, only five town councilors will be voting on whether or not to build sports fields at Joppa Hill Farm, which means that three councilors will make a majority in what is likely to be the council’s most controversial vote of 2003.
Council Chairman Bill Greiner has said that he will recuse himself from voting on Joppa Hill Farm because he is an abutter, and two weeks ago fellow councilor and abutter Andy Egan changed his mind on the issue and said that he will recuse himself as well.
Then, last month, the conservation commission made its recommendation, which was that if fields were to be built, the best option would be to clear trees in the northwest corner of the property and put them there.

Although the report was well received overall, the response of the residents to this particular recommendation reflected the split in the town.
As has been true since last year, when the town began discussing the future of the property, some residents feel strongly that athletic fields should be built at Joppa Hill Farm to alleviate a field shortage, while others believe it is more important to devote the entire 190 acres to conservation.
The report said that the area of Joppa Hill with the least conservation value, and therefore the best place to build athletic fields, was the northern area to the west of Joppa Hill Road.
