Residents voiced significant concerns regarding a proposed development project during a recent government meeting, particularly focusing on potential flooding issues. One local resident, who lives at 7110 Phillips Creek, highlighted the risk of increased flooding not only for their property but also for surrounding areas, including Willow, Lost Tree Apartments, and Parkside Condos.

The resident emphasized that heavy rains already lead to flooding in these locations, and the proposed development could exacerbate the situation. They expressed a need for an updated flood mitigation study that reflects current conditions, especially following Hurricane Anne, which has altered local waterways and increased flooding in previously unaffected areas.

The resident pointed out that the existing flood management plans do not account for the lack of maintenance on Phillips Creek and Hentry Creek, which have not been dredged or trimmed in years. They urged officials to consider these factors in their assessments to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.
