Neighbor raises easement, traffic and sewer concerns during Sandy Point rezoning hearing
Summary
Neighbor Steven Roach told the commission the proposed Sandy Point subdivision appears to include land subject to his perpetual easement and warned that Sandy Point Road’s 60 mph two‑lane condition and lack of sewer will make access and utilities problematic for a future 40‑home development.
Steven Roach, a resident who lives adjacent to the rezoning site, spoke at the public hearing and said the plat appears to include land subject to his perpetual easement and that must be corrected before a final plan is approved.
Roach said the project area’s increased traffic will create safety problems on Sandy Point Road, which he described as a two‑lane, 60‑mph road. He told commissioners, “The speed limit is 60 miles an hour and access from this property to Sandy Point Road is going to be extremely dangerous.” He also flagged sewer availability, saying sewer improvements will be required because the area does not have sewer service now. Commissioners heard the concerns; staff reiterated that a flood study and final plat review will occur before any permits are issued, and the commission proceeded to vote on the rezoning.
