Resident says past development caused runoff into Stark Creek, asks for oversight
Summary
A local resident who identified himself as Richard Monstroem Jr. told the board that a prior development caused excessive runoff into Stark Creek and asked whether additional oversight or review could prevent similar problems at Sunset Estates.
A member of the public who gave an address on North Landing Road and identified himself as Richard Monstroem Jr. testified about past problems with runoff from a nearby development and urged the board to consider oversight measures for future projects. He said the previous project met the town’s approvals but nevertheless produced excessive runoff that reached Stark Creek.
In his testimony, the resident said: "We had runoff problems that were excessive and went into Stark Creek through the the creek that goes through the Norris, built and fills Norris property." The planner and other board members acknowledged past problems were addressed in coordination with the county and town, but the witness asked whether additional review or a second‑level oversight could be required to avoid repetition. The board limited public testimony to material relevant to the quasijudicial proceeding and noted that remediation for prior projects had involved town and county work; no new enforcement or oversight action was adopted during the hearing.
