Developer says Willow Grove prices likely near nearby listing; commissioner urges more trees
Summary
Philip Anderson, the developer’s representative, said Willow Grove unit prices would likely be similar to a nearby listing described in staff remarks as '4.9.' A commissioner requested additional tree plantings along the development’s street-facing side.
During the public hearing for Willow Grove, the developer’s representative identified himself as Philip Anderson and answered a question about anticipated sale price. Anderson said the sale price per unit would "probably somewhere around that price" after staff noted a nearby comparable listing described as having a "list price of 4.9."
A commissioner later urged the developer to add more substantial tree plantings and better landscaping—saying the submitted landscape palette relied too heavily on low-level shrubs and shorter evergreens and asking for more trees to create a stronger buffer on the street-facing edge of the site. The request was made during the Q&A portion of the public hearing and entered into the commission's review of the project; staff and applicants did not commit to a specific planting plan at the meeting.
