In a recent government meeting, community concerns were raised regarding a controversial 70-acre development plan that was quietly approved in May 2019. Local resident Miss Litch expressed frustration over the lack of public awareness and engagement during the zoning process, which she described as unusual due to its absence of community oversight.

Litch highlighted that the proposed plan includes five-story rental apartment buildings, a significant departure from the existing architectural landscape of the area, which does not feature such structures. She likened the development to the crowded neighborhoods of Bensonhurst in Brooklyn, emphasizing that it does not fit the character of the local community.

The resident called for a revocation of the zoning approval, arguing that the community deserves better representation and more transparency from local officials. She urged the government to reconsider the development's location and its implications for the neighborhood.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for additional public comments, indicating ongoing community interest and potential opposition to the development plan.
