Public Comments & Testimony
- No public comments on agenda items at the opening of the meeting.
- During the hearing for Items 27–30 (Diamond Edmond, LLC), one speaker (Bruce Cowan, 5840 Mohawk) expressed strong opposition, arguing the office/warehouse project is bad planning, incompatible with rural preservation, and contrary to the master plan. He stated the town board unanimously opposed it.
- During Items 35–39 (Anterasian Family Trust), four speakers opposed the plan amendment and zone change for a 54-unit townhome project. Janice Saverley (6035 W. Quail Ave.) argued the density is incompatible with surrounding large-lot homes and that many neighbors were not notified. Michael Story (6030 W. Quail Ave.) cited traffic, parking, loss of privacy, and inadequate notification. Marisol Story and Destiny Story echoed concerns, requesting an extension to organize community input. Destiny Story noted that as a new resident, the process felt confusing and that she discovered the project only the day before.
- During final public comments, Janice Saverley returned, stating she did not receive notice for the latest item (54 houses) and worried about traffic impacts on neighborhood streets.
