Continued from Tuesday night
Here's what we didn't have time or space to include in the paper(unposted) from last night's council meeting:
The council rejected a similar plan in April by a 6-3 vote. Centex planned to build homes in the $100,000 to $150,000 price range, but nearby residents wanted the company to build larger, more expensive homes to match surrounding neighborhoods. Opponent Barbara Starr noted that the plan offered by Centex was almost identical to the one already rejected by the council. "Centex is basically coming to you with the same proposal as before," Starr said. Both plans called for a similar number of homes, though the plan presented Tuesday put some restrictions on the development. Council members Yvonne Johnson, Don Vaughan, Claudette Burroughs-White and Dianne Bellamy-Small voted against the plan Tuesday. Vaughan had voted for the plan in April, while Holliday, Florence Gatten and Tom Phillips moved from opposing the first proposal to supporting the recent one.
