ZA25-6 (4232 Kelly Elliott Road )

A property owner backing up to the Kelly Elliott commercial site testified about being inundated with water every time it rains since trees were cleared.

Presented photos of backyard flooding and urged the commission to reject the rezoning until a concrete development plan and drainage solution are provided.

A 40-year resident warned of severe traffic congestion, poor access near the I-20 frontage road, and student safety concerns along Kelly Elliott Road.

An adjacent homeowner urged the commission to deny the commercial request without a plan, citing property value drops and undisclosed drainage problems.

The owner of the adjacent property west of the site noted his family has owned their land since 1977 and said he would consider selling for commercial use if rezoned.
