Notice of Possible Quorum of the Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission - Chapel Park Ribbon Cutting Ceremony - Oct 27, 2026
A 6.3-acre duplex project near River Valley Middle School became a fight over density: staff wanted 36 units to match the area, developers said 36 kills the economics, and the commission sided with 48. Traffic on Speegleville Road — still under construction for widening — was the neighbors' main worry.
