City officials in McMinnville voted to approve a request for a residential development contingent on a letter from Westmore Utilities stating that the utility can provide water service for the project, including required fire-protection features.
The approval follows public remarks from nearby residents who described the proposed project as “excessive” and raised concerns about traffic, parking and the look of the project at the town’s entrance.
