During a recent government meeting, community members raised significant concerns regarding a proposed subdivision near County Road 100 and 89. Residents, including Brandy Smith and Mickey Strother, expressed worries about flooding and drainage issues that have plagued the area for years, particularly during heavy rains and events like Hurricane Harvey.

Smith, a long-time resident, highlighted her observations of persistent flooding on a specific lot, questioning how the construction of new homes might exacerbate water flow issues for existing properties. She sought clarity on whether the entire lot would be elevated or just the homes, and how this would impact neighboring properties across the street.

Strother echoed these concerns, emphasizing the existing drainage problems and the potential for increased flooding due to a nearby creek. He noted that the area has experienced severe flooding in the past, leaving residents stranded for days. Strother also inquired about the provision of water services for the new development, questioning whether it would be connected to the city’s water supply or rely on wells.

The meeting served as a platform for residents to voice their apprehensions, although officials indicated that they could not provide immediate answers during the public comment segment. The discussions underscored the community's need for clarity and assurance regarding infrastructure and environmental impacts associated with the proposed development.
