During a recent government meeting, discussions centered around a proposed multifamily development on Piney Plains, highlighting key issues such as traffic management, greenway modifications, and housing affordability.

The developer presented findings from a traffic study, indicating plans to mitigate traffic at access points and potentially install a traffic signal at the intersection of Stevens Road and Piney Plains if warranted. The greenway's configuration was also a topic of concern, as the current plan conflicts with the future US 1 intersection. The developer proposed adjustments to the greenway route, suggesting a 10-foot wide street-side trail that would minimally alter the greenway's character.

Housing affordability emerged as a significant theme, with the developer emphasizing the importance of increasing supply to address the community's needs. They outlined plans to include affordable rental units and announced a partnership with Habitat for Humanity to donate land for townhome construction. This initiative aims to create a pathway for residents to transition from renting to homeownership, fostering equity and stability within the community.

Public feedback was mixed, with 22 written comments received—19 expressing opposition or concerns, while three supported the rezoning. Residents voiced apprehensions about increased traffic, density, and environmental impacts, reflecting a broader concern for maintaining the quality of life in the Wynnewood South community.

The meeting concluded with a commitment from the developer to continue engaging with the town and address community concerns as the project progresses.
