Described muddy water flooding over lawns on Churchill after the July 29 storm and asked what the town and developer are doing about drainage and retention ponds.

Said neighbors warned years ago about increased runoff speed and volume, and no one knew the whole site would be stripped of vegetation, leaving nothing to slow water or mud.

Showed a photo of conditions at 5228 Hoag Lane, said the developer promised retention ponds would handle drainage and that a lower area wasn't supposed to be cleared; drains were plugged full.

Thanked the highway department for its rapid response but said flooding makes his backyard unusable; not anti-development, just wants it done responsibly.

Has raised drainage and traffic concerns since 2017; described conditions as more than a water issue — a mudslide ending up in her backyard.

Asked why town codes protecting against flooding, dust, and noise aren't enforced during construction; described a desert-like 30-acre cleared site and wildlife impacts.

Upstream and not flooding, but questioned why the overflow system was built before other parts of the drainage system.
