Roughly two dozen area residents spoke out against the project by Stone House Development and New Madison Development — which would raze the two houses, duplex and barn now standing at at 6610–6706 Old Sauk Road and replace them with a three-story, 138-unit apartment building — during a lengthy public hearing Monday evening. 
Many of the project's opponents said they believe the apartment building is too big for the neighborhood, will increase traffic and congestion and will reduce stormwater drainage, increasing the area's flood risk.

There is a slight risk of flooding along Old Sauk Road.

But the proposed sit is already surrounded by development.
