Neighbor urges stricter buffer and drainage protections for proposed storage site
Summary
A resident who backs up to the proposed storage facility site asked the commission to ensure sufficient landscape buffering and robust drainage measures, citing chronic backyard flooding and concerns about 24-hour access to storage units.
During public comment on the storage-facility special exception, a resident who identified herself as Ms. Bush said she lives on West Drive behind the subject property and expressed strong concerns about buffer width, visibility into backyards, and recurring flooding. "I need to make sure there's gonna be enough buffer there," Ms. Bush (Speaker 10) said, adding that the neighborhood experiences water flowing across multiple yards during heavy storms.
Ms. Bush told the commission she could not see evidence of an existing road cut staff described and urged that any buffer reduction be precisely defined and that drainage plans be verified. Commissioners acknowledged the concern and asked that staff require the complete site plan and clarified drainage solutions before acting on any landscaping waiver.
