Seeds Road warehouse rezoning

Organized a 76-signature petition against the rezoning; says warehouses don't belong next to rural homes and two-lane Seeds Road can't handle the truck traffic.

Raised loss of prime farmland, soil and drainage limits of Crosby silt loam, water pressure concerns and narrow 19-foot-wide Seeds Road unable to handle semis.

Said traffic at Seeds and North Meadows is already unbearable at shift changes and drivers will ignore right-turn-only signs; urged preserving farmland.

42-year Rid Path Road resident; worried about lights, noise, farmland loss and narrow flood-prone roads; pointed to other industrial land already available.

Described gridlock at Seeds and Meadows from FedEx trucks and urged a real traffic study and road fixes before any more building.

Rid Path Road resident since 1981; said there's plenty of other developable land and asked the commission to leave the rural area alone.

Successor trustee for the landowner; explained floodplain constraints, plans to keep farming the remainder, and support for industrial use consistent with long-range plans.

Cited MORPC farmland preservation designations south of I-665 and questioned water/sewer service capacity for the site.

Follow-up on water pressure, main breaks near the site, fire-flow concerns and the 19-foot-wide stretch of Seeds Road for semi turns.

Asked about water main ownership, warned about semis meeting farm equipment on rural roads, and suggested a quick signal-timing fix at 665.

Questioned whether there's really demand, pointing to vacant warehouses and available lease space near I-71.
