Walmart drone hub

Ripped the drone hub approval as corrupt and pre-decided, saying only 16 neighbors were notified and accusing the board of putting a hub 660 feet from her home.

Said his questions were mostly answered; his main concern was drones flying over private property, and he questioned whether Denver really needs the service.

Presented research on drone noise — comparing it to 'an enormous swarm of hornets' audible 700 feet away — and asked how the county will protect noise-sensitive areas within the six-mile flight radius.

Read a statement for resident Carol Lucky opposing the hub on safety grounds, citing drone crashes elsewhere and Cobb County, Georgia's denial of a similar request.

Raised privacy concerns, noting a discrepancy between Wing's 'no live feed' statement and what residents say they were told at the March community meeting, and cited the state anti-drone-surveillance statute.

Submitted a detailed list of questions on helicopter conflicts, noise, maintenance, liability, weather limits, and a possible no-fly zone over Forest Oaks.

Fought the Walmart in 2005 and opposes the drone hub too, arguing it violates ELDD aesthetic rules, converts retail parking to an industrial use, and should be denied until comprehensive drone ordinances exist.

A 41-year Forest Oaks resident who said only 55 neighbors were notified, described the drone noise as relentless, and told the board to protect citizens, not corporations.
