2023-3172. [Commission Memo 24-025]
Eileen Hinson, Planning Director, Mr. Groot, Bryant Applegate, Accountant for
Sanford Waterfront Partners, and residents; Hank Diekhaus, Leon Konieczny, and Kathy Hull,
spoke on this item. Mayor Woodruff summarized the discussion by stating that the concern for
many people is that the financing requires 20 percent low-income housing, however, in a zoning
decision the commission does not dictate the type of financing or the type of rental in a project.
The issue with the resolution that was denied, in his opinion, was it did not accurately reflect the
approved development plan. The revised resolution now clearly states that this is an economic
development project which includes housing and will be built to meet the requirements of the
development agreement.
Commissioner Austin moved to approve Resolution No. 3206. Seconded by Vice
Mayor Britton and carried by vote of the Commission as follows:
