Churchill Avenue flooding, parking and speeding

Summary

Neighbors testified that clearing wooded lots has caused multi-year flooding, that the food bank, two churches and a new mosque bring heavy parking demand, and that speeding makes the street dangerous. Board members said these are enforcement problems, not reasons to deny the variance, and urged residents to call code enforcement.
