Residents who live in nearby subdivisions expressed their concerns regarding current congestion from traffic in the area, the road width of the proposed subdivision, and the site distance from their properties. Bobby Bullard provided information on stormwater management, vegetation maintenance, and the deceleration lane. Most of the surrounding parcels are in the R-100 or RSM zoning district.
