Council approves Foxfire Subdivision Phase 5 development plan after refiled application

Council took up resolution 43-2026, a development-plan approval for Foxfire Subdivision Phase 5 Parts 1, 2 and 3. The presiding officer asked Bill, a staff member, to explain why the matter was on the special agenda; Bill said the applicant had refiled after a previous 3–2 outcome. "There was a vote. It was three to two. We needed four votes to pass a resolution, and we did not have a fourth vote," Bill said.

Council moved quickly on the resubmitted application. Dustin moved to waive readings and Zeke seconded; roll call recorded unanimous 'Yes' votes. A subsequent motion to approve the resolution was made, seconded by Jay, and passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. Council member Courtney asked that her reservation be placed on the record, saying, "I'm saying yes, but only because I have to say yes. I just want to put that on record." The resolution (43-2026) was recorded as approved during the special meeting.

Staff told the council the resubmitted application matched the prior submission and had met the expectations staff identified; council members did not engage in extended debate on the merits during this session. The council took the formal action to approve the development plan application for Phase 5 Parts 1–3 without amendment.
