The townhouse project would change that. The Craigs, however, say they are amazed a single household can hold up a development that so clearly would benefit the neighborhood and community. If there were a pile of people, I'd say we had something. Although not in the subdivision, Mrs. Craig said, her lake-side home is near the proposed townhouses. Craig, who is also a real estate agent, considers he and his wife to be a small, independent developers.

To me it seems like it's just one hurdle after another. But the Craigs are determined and say they will take their case to court if they have to. The council postponed consideration of the matter until the Sept. 28 meeting. Councilman Rick Sheehy said he hoped something could be worked out between the opposing parties. Mayor Phil Odom asked Sheehy and Councilwoman Deb Fielder to try to mediate the dispute between the Welshes and the Craigs.
