COMMERCIAL PROPOSAL: WESTPFAHL Jim Westpfahl, N7343 Hidden Prairie Road, asked for input concerning a revised concept map outlining a possible commercial development along Highway 53 between County Road T and Council Bay Road, which is listed as “Conditional Commercial Corridor” in the Comprehensive Plan. He explained the previous maps had 41 lots and the revised map shows 25 lots. He explained the general layout and the push to keep existing trees to maintain the rural look. Discussion followed concerning safety at the access point on Council Bay Road, stormwater issues, steepness of some lots and a possible turn-around within the plat.
