Said his 14,000-square-foot lot dwarfs the proposed sub-9,000-square-foot lots and questioned zoning compatibility under Title 18.08.340.

Worried a two-story house would overlook her backyard, cited trash truck damage and weed abatement problems on the property, and threatened to tow construction workers' cars from the private street.

Lives across the street with seven vehicles in his household; described chronic parking shortages, potholes he's patched himself, and fears spillover parking onto nearby streets.

Said her grandson needs frequent EMS access on the dead-end street and called the decision shameful, criticizing the council for waiving utility undergrounding.
