Neighbors oppose plan to replace single house with 13 condos; council defers Deering Circle project
Summary
A resident urged council to reject or reconsider a proposal to allow 13 condos on Deering Circle, citing tree loss, changes to neighborhood character, parking and trash concerns; staff recommended deferral and council moved the item to a May work session.
Staff told council they had placed the 2145 Deering Circle application on administrative hold after identifying additional variances and waivers required for the project's current design and recommended deferral to the May 14 work session so items can be properly advertised and reviewed.
Resident George Lloyd, who lives across the street from the site, told council he strongly opposed the proposed development, arguing it would replace a single family house with 13 condos and "change the character of the neighborhood." Lloyd described concerns about loss of trees and wildlife and problems with additional curbside trash and parking: "It's like 13 condos where there was 1 house." He urged council to consider the neighborhood impact before moving forward.
Council moved the item to the May meeting for additional review and noted public opposition in the record.
