Mayor Harris opened the public hearing.
Mr. Scott Loehrer, GreenWood Design Build, Applicant, said he understands the concerns
regarding the project but felt his company is responsive to the issues and concerns that the
neighborhood and City may have during the project. He added that his company does care
about the City and he answered questions from Council.
Mr. Rob Dingmann, 211 Cutacross Road, said he drove down Paisley Lane during the project
and that the road was always a mess and now that he will be right across from the
construction so he is concerned about it. He also stated he is concerned that Cutacross is
narrower than Paisley Lane and that his water pressure has gone down as homes have been
built in the area.
Mr. Jamie Wellik, 31 Meander Road, said that two residents did speak at the Planning
Commission during the public hearing and he is concerned about water run-off and that the
sites are being mounded. He added that he has lost plants due to the water run-off and that
the neighborhood has had to install sump systems due to water issues in their basements. He
said the City does not have a way to measure the water run-off into neighboring yards and the
water shed from new homes are effecting plants and basements in the area.
Mr. David Spencer, 203 Cutacross Road, said he and his wife used GreenWood Design to
build their home two years ago and even though he does not disagree with his neighbors he
said GreenWood did flow the water away from the house. He also said if he had problems,
