The plan as presented fails to meet the stated goals of the plan. Instead of protecting the Allen Creek watershed this plan is allowing it to be built in, and using taxpayer money to subsidize and improve the area to the developer's benefit. Actual protection of the watershed would begin by PROHIBITING further development int he floodplains. This project, which started as a well-meaning effort to protect our natural features has been co-opted by the economic development types who only see tax revenues based on square foot of expensive condos. Please do not adopt this plan as it stands, an expensive mistake that will harm our city's resilience to flooding, climate change weather and pollution control. Daylight Allen Creek for best results.
