Day 3 OZAH HEARING – 27 Neighbors testify against 130 townhouses on 1/15/26

At Day 3 of the OZAH Hearing on January 15, 2026, more than 75 Neighbors attended in person or on Zoom. 27 neighbors testified in opposition to the 130 townhouses!  Only 1 person testified in favor. Neighbors showed their diversity and spoke eloquently and passionately.  Neighbors stuck to facts based on experience; some called out the “affordability” claims of the townhomes; others talked about the density and lack of green space; still others talked about safety on Notley road and increased traffic; some showed pictures of stormwater flooding in their yards; others raised concerns over overflow parking in Petwyn Court and Greenspring Street; some demonstrated on maps just how the cut-through traffic on Sherwood Forest Drive would flow; still others explained how different the Morningside Townhouses are; parents talked about schools capacity realties.  Each person added on to the next – it was a great unifying effort,

and we should be proud of our neighbors who spoke up for all of us.
