Village by the Bay rezoning

Opposed the rezoning, citing flood-prone ditches, existing subsidized housing, septic-to-sewer costs of $16-18K, traffic, and questioned the out-of-town developer's knowledge of Rockport.

Asked whether the development would finally bring city sewer to his adjacent lots on South Pearl and whether Pearl Street would be extended; also asked about the easement by his lots.

Raised detailed drainage questions: cumulative impact study, 100-year storm detention standard, outfall location, maintenance enforcement, and max impervious cover.

Lives at 1805 South Pearl adjacent to the site; said the ditch in front of his house floods even in small rains, and wants answers about a planned road near his property line.

Pointed out only three streets run from Business 35 to the water, the dog park and bird sanctuary parking pressures, and asked about septic reimbursement if sewer lines come through.
