S. Ann Street PUD rezoning

Adjacent resident raised lot-size and aesthetic concerns, said June 16 rain flooded her street, and warned the detention pond could overflow into her and her neighbor's homes; also questioned affordable housing feasibility and the Ann Street right-of-way.

Argued the PUD tool grants carte blanche for high-density development the city has no zoning category for, citing traffic, drainage, golf cart safety, and loss of small-town character.

Owner of lots on South Pearl Street said the development would landlock his properties with no street, electricity, or sewer access, and asked about an easement between Church and Pearl Streets.

A longtime resident (family there since 1950) said surveyors indicated a road would run right next to his house at 115 South Church Street, and asked that notice mailers go out earlier.

A future neighbor building on South Church Street cited documented flooding, drainage mitigation, and traffic concerns and opposed the project alongside the neighbors.

Speaking both as a neighbor and P&Z commissioner, she opposed using the PUD to create high density the city has no zoning category for, urging that a proper high-density category be created and put before citizens instead.
