Lives directly across from the property since 2012; worries the subdivision will destroy the wildlife, dark skies, windbreaks, and rural serenity he moved there for.

Fears the easement approval sets a precedent for subdividing a nearby 200-acre parcel; also flagged poor property maintenance and a past snail infestation.

Owns the property to the east; asked about easement placement, opposed an HOA overreaching into the area, and raised endangered species concerns.
