Ms. Whitley called the meeting to order at 10:00 am.
2. Approval of Minutes from the March 4, 2024 meeting
Mr. Chapman moved for approval of the minutes. Ms. Hyatt seconded the
motion. All in favor.
3. Public Comments
Ms. Ellen Moore, 1469 Gunnison St, asked the Committee to reconsider
approval for attainable housing in Carolina Park. She suggested that the project
would have a negative impact on the neighborhood and would impact current
infrastructure. She suggested that the community is not ready for this type of
project because the infrastructure and schools would not be able to handle the
additional traffic and students. She suggested that growth should be responsibly
handled and that there is a responsibility to the current residents to make sure the
project is handled in a correct manner.
Mr. Jay Claypoole stated that he is available to answer questions regarding the
Wilson Tract PD amendment.
There being no further comments, Ms. Whitley continued with the agenda.
