The meeting also addressed a preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) proposal, which received a motion for approval with staff conditions. Board members discussed the flexibility of the preliminary approval process, emphasizing that substantial changes could still be made before final approval. Concerns were raised about the potential impact of the development on local traffic patterns, particularly regarding the extension of Spiritway.
In a separate agenda item, the board reviewed an application from Timekeeper Distillery to establish a secondary location across from Holmgren Way. After confirming the legalities of the proposal, the board discussed the implications of allowing multiple distilleries in the area. While some members expressed enthusiasm for the concept, citing its potential to attract visitors and enhance local business, others raised concerns about the strain on public safety resources and the possibility of an influx of similar establishments.
The board ultimately moved to approve the Timekeeper Distillery application, with discussions indicating a willingness to explore regulations that could limit the number of such businesses in the future. The meeting underscored the balancing act local officials face in fostering economic development while addressing community concerns about safety and infrastructure.
