Sunrise Townhomes redevelopment
Eight townhomes in a two-story building are planned for 0.59 acres across from the wastewater treatment plant. The same design was approved in 2024 but expired when permits weren't pulled in time, so it had to start over. The project would add roughly $11,500 a year in property taxes.
Howell Street neighbors' privacy and the city easement
A last-minute letter from neighbor Bill Faulkner asked for mature trees along the project's southern border. A 15-foot city-owned right-of-way sits between the site and the Howell Street homes, and the LPA asked staff to explore letting the HOA plant trees and a fence there. Neighbor Deborah Mobourne also came with concerns that her fence would be removed — the developer clarified it won't be.
