Summary
A neighborhood association president testified that June storms flooded intersections a foot deep and warned that expanding a parking lot on MLK Boulevard pushes impervious surface to roughly 70% of the parcel. The board approved anyway, noting the city engineer's office didn't require detention for a project under the 10,000 sq ft threshold.
