Planning Board - Sep 3, 2026
A developer wants to build a 134-unit apartment complex on Highway 211 in West End, but residents and board members are pushing back hard. The project asks for major rule exceptions, including buildings that are 54 feet tall (well above the 35-foot limit), higher density, and less parking. Neighbors warned that approving it would ruin local rural character, worsen traffic congestion at the Highway 211 corridor, and set a dangerous precedent for future overdevelopment.
