Neighbors and commissioners raise safety concerns at apartment project adjacent to school and park
Summary
Commissioners and residents discussed a three‑story apartment project near a school and skate park, noting traffic, drop‑off patterns and lack of fencing between the development and park. Staff said inspections and site-plan processes are separate and some work had been stopped pending review.
Commissioners returned to concerns about a recent three‑story apartment site plan located across from the school. Residents said construction staging and driveway access could create conflicts at school drop‑off times and noted that the park and skate park currently have limited separation from adjacent housing.
A commissioner recalled that the city had previously discussed fences and setbacks to separate housing and parks; staff said fencing is typically included late in site work and that inspections are required for construction. One participant said construction had stalled, and staff noted the project had inspection or permitting issues that led to a work stoppage while outstanding items were addressed.
