The group, mostly owners of working and nonworking farms, vowed to continue its fight and plans to collect 2,000 signatures to put the issue before voters as a referendum.
Everhart described the plan as “spot zoning” and “leap-frog development,” in that it appears to be “dropped in the middle of several farms” and is “not harmonious” to surrounding land.
Developer Todd Deutsch of Dayton-based Phoenix West LLC said homes to be developed in the 101-acre site are priced between $190,000 to more than $400,000.
It’s the first full-scale housing development on the city’s west side in 30 years.
“It has a mixture of uses that we think there’s a need for in Miamisburg,” Deutsch said.
