At the August 5, 2025, Alexandria Planning & Zoning meeting, residents voiced significant concerns regarding a proposed housing development on Grandview. Multiple speakers, including long-time residents and even a 14-year-old community member, expressed fears about the area's unstable topography, the risk of flooding, increased traffic, deforestation, and potential damage to existing properties. The discussion centered around the impact of removing trees and disturbing delicate geological formations, especially in light of a past explosion in the area that caused long-term damage. While the development was not officially on the agenda for action, the comments were acknowledged and will be shared with the city attorney and developer. In new business, the commission opened a case to review zoning language related to tattoo establishments and received updates on city construction projects and ongoing developments like the Wawa store and the upcoming Kroger traffic study review.
