Council approves extension request for Twin Creeks Phase 3; one councilor objects, one abstains
Summary
The council voted to grant an extension for Twin Creeks Phase 3 to allow more time for site work; the motion passed with three votes in favor, one no and one abstention.
The Stevensville Town Council approved an extension request for Twin Creeks Phase 3 after the developer said additional time was needed to finish work affected by site conditions and rising construction costs.
Town staff read a letter from the applicant stating phase 2 was on track but “phase 3 has proven more complex due to site specific conditions, rising construction costs, and market conditions,” and the extension would not change conditions of approval or disrupt public facilities. The letter asked for additional time “to properly complete phase 3 in accordance with the town's standards.”
A motion “to accept Twin Creeks phase 3 extension request” was offered by Council Member Brad (mover recorded in the meeting) and seconded (second not specified in the record). Council Member Brad later stated he would abstain from the vote because of a conflict of interest related to his employment with a title company.
At roll call, Council Member Smith voted “aye,” Council Member Barker voted “aye,” Council Member Brown voted “no,” and Council Member Bragg voted “aye.” With three votes in favor, one against and one abstention, the motion passed.
Council members asked no substantive follow-up questions of the applicant at the public hearing; the applicant expressed appreciation for the council’s consideration. The council clerk recorded the outcome as approved with three ayes, one no and one abstain.
Ending: The extension permits the developer additional time to complete Phase 3 under the existing approval conditions; staff and the applicant were directed to continue coordination on timelines and inspections.
