Residents tell City of Byron council of stormwater damage and code-enforcement dispute
Summary
During public comment at the Aug. 11 meeting, residents raised stormwater flooding that they say is damaging properties on Red Oak Road and near Moseley Road, questioned city response, and asked about a pending ordinance on storefront churches.
Several residents used the City of Byron public-comment period on Aug. 11 to press the council for action on localized flooding and to question code-enforcement notices.
Barbara Schechterle told the council that increased stormwater flooding and debris at 199 Red Oak Road are causing erosion and devaluation of her property; she also said speeding on her road appears to be worsening and asked for city assistance. Mayor Michael Chidester responded that the city is developing Stormwater Master Plans to address issues in stages and offered to have city staff inspect her property.
Clint Shipman said he received a city letter giving him 10 days to correct grass-cutting violations at a property near 203 Moseley Road and Harvey Jordan Drive. He said the same area has experienced flooding that has rotted his shop and questioned what the city will do. The mayor asked Shipman to provide the letter and said city staff would review it.
Resident Miguel Alcantar asked about the adoption of Ordinance 2025-11, related to storefront churches, and was advised to remain for the agenda item in which that ordinance was considered.
The minutes record these public comments and the mayor’s offers to inspect the properties; the minutes do not record a follow-up timeline or staff report resolving the specific complaints.
