75-acre annexation (ANX-002930-2026)

A Cambridge Estates HOA board member said connecting the new development to their sidewalk-less streets would create a pedestrian safety hazard, damage already-fragile roads, and worsen flooding; he asked the council to restrict any connection to gated emergency access only.

A resident whose property borders the tract said the developer's stormwater studies omit the established creek and floodway on his land, and noted the developer hasn't closed on the property yet — urging the council to vote no.

Another Cambridge Estates resident cited the city's own zoning ordinance language on protecting neighborhood character, arguing 230 homes to the south plus 400 more planned to the west would surround and transform their quiet neighborhood.

The developer's engineer said the plan has been revised after two community meetings, that fire code requires connecting the dead-end streets, and that he's open to making the Cambridge connections emergency-only; he also described drainage plans to route runoff to detention ponds instead of Cambridge.

A Cambridge resident since 2001 said cut-through traffic during construction is inevitable and pushed hard for emergency-vehicle-only barricaded connections.
