During a recent government meeting, a representative from the Hawk Creek community urged council members to postpone a vote on a contentious proposal, citing significant concerns over the process and its implications for the community. The speaker emphasized that the proposal, in its current form, is not ready for approval and called for a more inclusive approach to decision-making.

The representative highlighted that the Hawk Creek community has repeatedly sought transparency and engagement from the Hawk Creek Community Association (HCCA), which serves as the primary liaison with the council. However, these requests have largely gone unanswered, leading to a sense of disconnection and division within the community. \"This community is not a monolith,\" the speaker stated, underscoring the diverse perspectives that have not been adequately represented in the discussions.

Concerns were raised about the latest iteration of the proposal, which differs significantly from earlier versions reviewed by the Planning and Zoning (PNZ) and Technical Review Committee (TRC). The speaker pointed out that the proposed access route through Sleepy Hollow Drive raises legal and infrastructure issues, particularly in light of recent flooding events that have affected the area. The representative referenced alarming infrastructure flags observed during past floodings in 2014 and 2021, stressing the need for careful consideration before moving forward.

The call for a continuance reflects a broader desire within the community for a more democratic process that incorporates feedback and fosters unity. The representative concluded by reiterating the importance of addressing the fractures within the Hawk Creek community to ensure that all voices are heard in future discussions.
