In a recent city council meeting, the approval of a resolution for neighborhood enterprises concerning three newly constructed duplexes in the Woodbridge Estates subdivision was discussed. The project, which is nearly complete, faced delays due to the loss of certificate applications submitted to the city clerk's office in February 2022. Chris Gulak from the City Planning Commission (CPC) presented the details, highlighting that the duplexes are located south of West Canfield and west of M-10.

The developer, represented by Eric Gold, confirmed that two of the six units are already occupied. Each unit is approximately 2,000 square feet, featuring three bedrooms, and is priced around $675,000, with construction costs estimated at $450,000 each. The council raised concerns regarding the compliance of the applications with state law, particularly since the units were built before the resolution was submitted. Gulak assured members that the necessary documentation exists to support the application timeline.

The council decided to send the resolution to formal consideration with a recommendation for approval, pending the receipt of the timestamped applications to ensure compliance with regulations. This decision reflects the council's commitment to thorough oversight while facilitating the completion of housing projects in the area.

Additionally, the meeting addressed a memorandum from Council Member Angela Whitfield Callaway regarding the implications of a recent Supreme Court ruling, which will be reviewed by the Law Department and the Legislative Policy Division (LPD) in the coming weeks.

In member reports, Council Members Santiago Romero and Young encouraged community participation in upcoming meetings, including a charter mandated community meeting and a retiree task force meeting, emphasizing the importance of resident engagement in local governance.
