Huntsville Council rejects 96 unit housing development for the 2nd time

Posted: 2024-10-25 07:59:43 By: thebay

For the second time, a proposed 96-lot housing development at 206 Town Line Rd. W. in Huntsville has been turned down. During the October 16th planning committee meeting, concerns were raised about stormwater management and traffic safety, preventing the revised plan from moving forward.

Councillor Monty Clouthier expressed disappointment, noting that the developers had not made significant changes to address these issues. Planning consultant John P. Gallagher had argued that the project could provide more affordable housing options.

Despite staff recommendations to conditionally approve the draft, the council decided to postpone the application again, requiring the developers to submit a more detailed plan that addresses council’s concerns before it can be reconsidered.
