Austin Oaks PUD delayed again
Friday, February 17, 2017 by Elizabeth Pagano
City Council postponed the Austin Oaks planned unit development once again at its most recent meeting and is now planning to hear the case on March 2. Council Member Alison Alter, whose district includes the proposed development, explained that last-minute changes and “a lot of moving parts” made both sides amendable to the two-week postponement (though the developer’s representative, attorney Michael Whellan, explained that they were “grudgingly” supporting the latest postponement). Not supporting the postponement was Council Member Jimmy Flannigan, who cast the lone vote against the delay. “What’s our end game here?” he asked. “What’s the target here?”
