Local resident urges court to scrutinize proposed ~600‑home development near rail
Summary
Pam Sardo told the Commissioners Court she urges denial or further review of a proposed roughly 600‑home development (identified in her remarks as submitted by JDJR Engineering and Consultants), citing proximity to another project under state attorney general review and concerns about rail abutment and traffic.
Pam Sardo, speaking as an individual citizen during public comment, urged the court to deny or request more information about what she described as an approximately 600‑home development presented to a city council by JDJR Engineering and Consultants. Sardo said the proposal appeared to involve annexation and was within walking distance of another development she said is under investigation by the state attorney general.
She asked the court to consider legal, financial and jurisdictional complications, as well as safety issues related to the project's proximity to a rail line and county roads. "I know you're well versed in all of that and traffic and rail lines," Sardo told the court and asked commissioners to exercise diligence before approving related actions.
The court thanked Sardo for her comment; no court action on the development was taken at the meeting.
