No go on removal of no build restriction August 28, 2017, 1:38 pmThe original plat for the development included an 80-foot no-build restriction along the south and east side of the development adjacent to Bull River which the developer was seeking to have changed. The city received seven letters of opposition to the proposal and several residents of the adjacent Bull River subdivision spoke in opposition to it, saying it would negatively impact the view shed. Bull River HOA President Mike Card spoke and said the HOA was also opposed to the plat amendment request. Matt Bowman, the applicant, explained that he had started construction on a pool in his back yard because he was originally told by the city that it was allowed. Now he has a hole in his 28 ft back yard, but no pool, he said. He wants to be a good neighbor, and he felt like a compromise was possible. After a lengthy discussion and some concern over the definition of "no build" the council voted to deny Bowman's application. City Councilmember Rod Mann said this vote would allow the residents to come back with a proposal that was a compromise. He recommended that residents of both Country French and Bull River meet and work out an agreement and volunteered the city to host it. If they could work something out, they could come back before the council in September, he said.
