Property owners along Washington Dam Road pushed back against the Blackstone Estates project, arguing that the developer's proposed access road relies on narrow, decades-old easements that don't permit public expansion. The city attorney advised that the city must verify legal access, leading to a strict condition halting construction until legal title is cleared.
