Summary

The council voted 5-0 to table the Hillstar Cottages preliminary plat from Chisel Mill Design and Build LLC for additional review, citing concerns about increased unit density, reduced yard and garage space, reliance on street parking, maintenance, and market fit.

Council Member Mark Ayers moved to table the preliminary plat application for Hillstar Cottages, and the motion was seconded by Council Member Jason Baswell. The motion carried 5-0, and the council requested additional information from staff and the applicant before resuming consideration.

Council discussion flagged increased unit density, limited private outdoor space, reduced garage and yard area, and a reliance on street parking as primary concerns. Members asked staff and the applicant to return with additional research and details addressing long-term maintenance and the proposed project's market fit within the community.

No vote was taken on the merits of the plat; the item was tabled to provide the council time to review the requested information.
