During a recent city council meeting, residents voiced strong opposition to a proposed development plan for a 230-acre site, particularly concerning the construction of multi-unit family homes near the intersection of Idaho and Penrose. Community members expressed concerns that the project would significantly impact local traffic and detract from the neighborhood's aesthetic appeal.

One resident, who requested anonymity, urged the council to reconsider the placement of senior two-story townhomes or apartments, arguing that their location would disrupt the tranquility of the area. Another resident, Brett Collins, who lives adjacent to the proposed site, articulated his vehement opposition to the project. He criticized the developers for what he described as misleading information provided during the home-buying process in December 2021, which emphasized single-story, 55-plus housing, a park, and a small commercial area.

The discussions highlighted a growing tension between community desires for maintaining the character of their neighborhood and the pressures of urban development. As the council considers the feedback from residents, the future of the proposed project remains uncertain.
