"The lawsuit asks the Santa Clara County Superior Court to essentially halt the project until the site is cleared by an independent inspector. Yuille laid out a litany of concerns about the city's hydraulic analysis, demanding a more rigorous review to prove 'with math not assumptions' the extra load from the new apartment building would not trigger a sewage backup in his home."
"Yuille's concerns include scenarios like heavy rain or high usage during events, stating, 'That means assume rain, a Super Bowl Sunday and everyone's flushing the toilet after the first quarter when the 49ers are up 14 to zero.'"
A resident in Willow Glen has filed a lawsuit against the city regarding a proposed seven-story apartment complex, claiming the sewer system's capacity was inadequately assessed. Jeffrey Yuille's lawsuit challenges the city's certification that the existing infrastructure can support the new development of 126 apartments. He argues for a more thorough review to prevent potential sewage backups. The lawsuit follows a rejected appeal to overturn the development permit based on design standard concerns. Yuille emphasizes the need for rigorous analysis to ensure the sewer system can handle increased demand.
