Summary

Two residents, Denise and Hassan Eljuhi, told council that a permitted structure at 6602 Warwick Drive violates prior Board of Adjustment determinations and has caused flooding, foundation damage, and safety concerns; they asked the council to investigate and enforce removal.

During citizen input on June 16, Denise Eljuhi and Hassan Eljuhi described ongoing neighborhood impacts they attribute to a structure at 6602 Warwick Drive that they say was denied by the Board of Adjustment but later permitted through a special ordinance. Denise said the structure acts like a dam, flooding her yard and causing repeated problems despite earlier determinations by the board. "You ignored the board's determination and passed a special ordinance anyway treating us like we don't matter," she said.

Hassan Eljuhi described foundation cracking, flooding, and fire‑hazard concerns that he says have cost him money and diminished his property's value. He urged the council to investigate how the permit was issued and to correct the situation so other residents do not experience the same harm. Council did not take enforcement action during citizen input; the concerns were entered into the public record and will require follow‑up through staff and legal channels.
