Wyatt Ledbetter, representing Ledbetter Investments, presented revised plans for the North Hyland Planned Development District at the June 17 joint meeting. The team listed several substantive changes to earlier concepts: reorientation of streets and parking to improve water and fire-truck access; an increase in accessory dwelling units from 4 to 18; a mix of 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom units; and inclusion of a retention pond for stormwater management. The applicants described the project as comprising a total of 75 units with an emphasis on affordable housing and estimated a 3–5 year timeline for the project.

Presenters at the table included architect/engineer Monty Luke and financial backer Joe Edgar; they indicated the formal application would respond to technical issues raised that evening. The project team agreed to work with city staff on infrastructure and to study additional parking options; the meeting record shows these commitments were made as part of the informal review rather than as binding approvals.
