During a recent government meeting, community leaders expressed growing concern over a proposed development of townhomes near the village hall, which they believe could significantly affect local school enrollment at Briargate. The discussion highlighted a perceived inconsistency in zoning regulations, as officials previously denied a zoning variation for a transportation center based on the premise that business should not be situated in residential areas.

Trustees pointed out the contradiction in allowing a shift from a business-zoned property to residential use for the townhome project. This change raises questions about the implications for local infrastructure and community resources, particularly in relation to school capacity and neighborhood dynamics. Community members are urged to stay informed and engaged as the proposal progresses, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balanced approach to development in the area.
