Trustee Jones stated he had walked around town asking for public input. The majority stated they would rather have taxes increased than to have 76 units at the entrance to town. That if the units were owned by only one owner this would not apply, but since they are intended to be sold as single units a conditional use permit is needed. The question before the council is a property rights issue. Considerable amount of time and dollars has been invested.
Town needs to curb growth.
Developers make promises they don't keep. Council needs to fight for the residents. Can't get blood out of a turnip. If necessary, the town can declare bankruptcy. Attorney Gaddis asked for all those in opposition to rise.
