Developers ask Seelyville to let them split a Second Street lot into up to four rental buildings

What happened

The plan would replace what's on the lot now with three to four smaller duplex-style buildings, and a separate request would have the town give up a strip of town-owned land next to the site so construction could extend onto it. (13:02)

A council member said Second Street isn't wide enough for the added parking two-unit rentals would bring, and questioned whether rental housing was the right fit for the area. (16:56)

Vice President Donald Fulke said he had no objection in principle to the town vacating (formally giving up its ownership of) that strip, but that the developers would have to pay for the legal work themselves. (19:23)

The outcome

No vote was taken on the subdivision or the land-vacation request; the council did not set a date to take either back up. (22:15)
