Public comment on high-density developments and stormwater
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Nancy Hazewood [address removed]. Um got a couple of things on my mind. First, um I wanna say that I hope the there is a slowdown in uh the high density developments. Um let me be clear, I don't mean in places that they might belong like Newport Ridgeie Wesley Chapel and those I'm talking about the ones are coming before you and there might be one before you
pretty soon on Highway 98 out there where there's nothing there. That's just frough. So if it can stay in the places that it's meant to, that would be good and not spread out. Um the next thing is uh I went to the stormwater meeting last week Do you all I'm hoping you know that the county had a stormwater meeting, you hired some consultants, I'm sure they meant well. But I was not impressed. You had a lot of people out there
that really had stormwater problems. They were flooded and they w When they had to kayak to his house. They were in Dade City, they were in Zephyrhills, they were all over. And some of them were concerned about problems that would occur because people were building around them. And they really needed help. But these guys were just there to apparently take data. And that was kinda sad. Um also I had experience I was looking at one of the maps of northeast
Pasco and it said wetlands. And I looked at and there was no wetlands swamps weren't on there for wetlands. So I got somebody from there to to talk to me and I said, Well, where are your swamps or wetlands? and She told me that swamps weren't wetlands. I was kinda surprised. That was news to me. So I talked to her a few minutes more and I said, Well here's the green swamp. Are you telling me that's not a wetland?
And she s she's kinda back down, started backing down then. But the whole thing you just came away with a feeling like, okay, we just put in our data of all this and that was it. Why why don't these people get some help? I mean, if they're flooding that means all of a sudden they've got a place they've got to pay a mortgage with and they have they can't really live there much anymore. Thank you.
All right. Thank you very much. Anyone else?
All right, so Denise, are we ready?
