Town Council Regular Session — October 21, 2026

A developer asked to cut 15 feet into a hillside instead of the allowed 8 feet to fit a roughly 3,000-square-foot home on a steep 1958-platted lot, preserving 70% of the site. The council approved it with landscaping, natural-material, and a new safety-barrier condition.
