3. Public Comments
Ms. Myra Richardson, 2725 Old Johnson Lane, spoke regarding the Ida Road
annexation. She stated that the there is not a clear proposal of how the property
will be developed. She asked that the zoning be delayed until a draft plan is
available. She expressed concern with the number of trees on the property that
would have to be removed for the property to be developed. She asked that the
request be denied.
Ms. Kelly Hall, 1522 Boston Grill Road, expressed concern about the annexation
request on Ida Road and that it will increase traffic in the area and would negatively
impact the surrounding property. She expressed concern with increased noise and
stormwater issues. She suggested that the impacts to the neighborhood should be
considered.
Mr. David Pickney, 1425 Ida Road, stated that he is not willing to provide an
easement on his property for access for this project. He suggested that the request
should not be allowed as it will impact the traffic and trees in the area.
