The fight involves a push to rezone land right in the middle of the Pumpkin Hill Preserve and build nearly 100 new homes. Residents say it could increase flooding in the area and make homes vulnerable to fires.
“A lot of the flooding in our area gets absorbed here before it goes downtown,” said resident Sharlene Byrum.
“You see these trees are charred here. That’s from prescribed burns. That stuff jumps,” said neighbor Joel Butler. “This piece of property is not in a preserve,” Harden says. “It’s a privately owned piece of property that this council specifically excluded from 5,000 acres of land that is overlaid in the area. Because that overlay is in place. There is not precedential value.”
