Residents raise flooding, access and wildlife concerns ahead of Michigan City petition hearing
Summary
Multiple Crestwood Drive residents told the Michigan City Planning Commission on March 24 that recurring flooding, a landlocked wetland parcel and nuisance wildlife are central concerns for the planned development; staff directed residents to city departments and scheduled follow-up ahead of the April 28 hearing.
Several Michigan City residents used the March 24 public‑comment period to press the Planning Commission on persistent drainage, land access and nuisance‑wildlife issues near a parcel that is set to return to the commission on April 28.

Simmons said street flooding and water entering homes have been recurring problems.
