Resident urges council to revisit subdivision ordinance, warns of legal costs and property-rights risk
Summary
During public comment, resident Susie Tommaney praised staff but said recent subdivision-ordinance drafts have cost the city legal fees and risk using public money to limit property owners' freedoms; council recorded her concerns but no immediate action was taken.
During the public-comment portion of the meeting, resident Susie Tommaney thanked council and city staff for their work and expressed concern about the drafts of two versions of a subdivision ordinance that have been before council in recent meetings. She said those drafts have incurred legal costs to the city and that she believes public money is being used in ways that could diminish the freedoms of property owners.
Council acknowledged the comment; there was no separate agenda action tied to the remark on Sept. 10. The minutes record Tommaney's concerns and her appreciation for city staff but do not indicate a council directive in response during that meeting.
