And i'm najahe sherman.

One of the 2 ordinances passed.

That's the property located south of oxford subdivision and east of dylan road.

The second is located on the north side of huntsville brownsferry road and east of holladay road.

The council is still discussing that ordinance.

Waay31's megan reyna is live outside city hall after hearing about the concerns from residents regarding these projects, megan?

Several people spoke in front of council tonight for hours -- concerned that the city simply does not have enough resources to handle this amount of growth.

The main concerns are traffic and overcrowded schools.

In total -- these two projects will include more than 250 new homes.

However -- 113 of those would be townhomes for people 55 and older.

Tonight superintendent ed nichols finally spoke out about the two ordinances.

He said he won't take a stance -- but admits the district will be crowded.

In the past... it's your plan."

It's was clear council is still split on what growth should look like for the city of madison.

Even though back in 2016 -- a plan was put in place for growth.

A lot of people who spoke up tonight are long time residents who have seen this city evolve.

Each one bringing up both crowding of schools and citys infrastructure.
