Baldwin Greenhouse Subdivision and Strong Farm PUD moved to public hearing
Item 5-3 on the consent agenda involving the Baldwin Greenhouse Subdivision and Strong Farm PUD. Discussion centered on an unresolved access easement (fire chief supported a 40-foot width for one ingress/egress), lack of an agreement between the two neighboring property owners (Feist and Megan), and the final plat being near completion. The PUD requires a solid six-foot fence for privacy. Moved to public hearing with one vote in opposition.
