Developer slashes housing units to address community concerns

During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on a significant reduction in housing density proposed by a current developer. The developer reported a 41% decrease in the number of units compared to previous plans, with an additional 7% reduction in response to city feedback, resulting in nearly half the original unit count.

The developer emphasized their commitment to addressing community concerns, highlighting modifications made to enhance the project. Notably, they increased the length of the driveway by five feet to accommodate larger vehicles and improve pedestrian safety. This adjustment aims to prevent vehicles from encroaching on sidewalks, thereby ensuring better access for future residents.

The developer's proactive approach in responding to city comments and community needs was underscored as they seek to move forward with the revised application.
