Residents raise drainage concerns over potential home at 5576 West Bluff

A resident identified in the minutes as Mrs. Smith told the zoning board she was concerned about water drainage on the 5576 West Bluff parcel if a house were constructed there. The minutes summarize: "Mrs. Smith had a concern with the water drainage on the property if someone were to build a home." Board member Jeremy Irwin replied that contractors must follow rules and regulations during construction.

Another resident, Mr. Pease, inquired about the owner's plans for the parcel; board member Marcy Ferington noted there was a "for sale sign on the property." Jeremy Irwin added that "being the owner of the property, you should know what can or cannot be done with the property, especially if you are going to sell it." The minutes do not record technical drainage studies or engineering responses; the concern was recorded as part of the public comment that preceded the board’s motion to table the variance.
