Wicklow Way Specific Plan Approval
Summary
The Board approved the scaled-down plan for 377 homes on the county-owned Martell site, with 135 acres of open space and wastewater handled by AWA instead of a new plant. A conservationist endorsed the density; a neighboring rancher pressed to protect his family's century-old cattle-drive right-of-way before the land is sold.
