Water and sewer plan — Corridor Center

Attorney for Pulte Homes argued all criteria for the Category 4-to-3 change are met and all city entitlements are approved.

Land planner testified the project meets all six criteria, adds forest conservation, removes a junkyard, and matches the city master plan's vision.

Civil engineer confirmed the site meets stormwater and forest conservation requirements on and off site.

Said he polled neighbors the day before and none supported the project; cited Cherry Lane traffic and lack of public notice of the hearing.

Asked the council to deny the change, citing cumulative strain on sewer, water, and stormwater systems from multiple Ward 2 developments.

Laurel parent urged denial, citing loss of 24 acres of green space, Cherry Lane traffic, and crowding at a 3-out-of-10 rated high school.

Said the hearing got only 24 hours' notice and asked the council to table CR-29 until the cost and payer for water/sewer connections is made public.
