Came armed with the state DEC and Arcadis engineering reports: the club's storm pipe was two-and-a-half feet full during storms, its connection to the city sewer was never permitted, and the board previously denied this site plan for inadequate parking and drainage.

A licensed engineer and 60-year resident who's had four flood routes in his basement: the connection the club wants to reroute into is itself illegal, per a water department official, and the Arcadis report spells out the real fix.

Her dining room sits 101 feet from paddle court three; she recounted years of noise, 20-foot light poles, and invited the board to her home to see it — and asked them to reject the fourth court outright.

Pointed to the board's own 28-page adverse findings and pending litigation — the club is appealing in court, so why relitigate the same facts here now? He says wait for the case to resolve.

Lives 50 feet from the courts: it's loud — yelling, cursing, music at 10:30 at night — and she flagged the propane heaters under the courts as a fire-department matter nobody's examined.

Echoed the litigation point: if there's a pending court case, the board shouldn't move forward — otherwise the club just sidesteps the ruling.

Her windows face the courts: she described flooding, club members hogging Carll Avenue parking, no sidewalks on Locust Lane, and noted there's never a hearing sign posted on Denman Place.
