Asked whether lease information would be public before contracts are signed, and sought an explanation of the Hoag Lane drainage district resolution and who pays if the town is sued.

Urged 'understanding and vigilance,' alleging the developer ignored contingencies, started infrastructure work early, left Lot 17 un-natural, and that the supervisor and some councilors discussed the district privately outside public meetings; also noted unpaid property taxes and the expiring Army Corps permit.

Said the process moved too fast, felt like a done deal, and lamented the environmental devastation of the cleared site.

Not fully opposed but wants details right; flagged the cost changing from $7,500 per parcel to ~$400 per unit, misspelled and incorrect names in district records, and changed retention pond discharge plans.

Said his backyard already floods every spring and fears added runoff will force him and neighbors to buy flood insurance.

Asked who maintains the homes' sewage lift pumps during major storms and where sewage would go in a failure; also described long-standing backyard flooding from the Hoag Lane culvert and the unfenced, hazardous Muirfield detention pond.
