FARGO (KFGO) - Fargo City Commissioners have approved a replat for a new housing project called Bison Meadows on 72 acres near Davies High School.
The unanimous vote comes two weeks after the plan was shot down after failing to receive the necessary super majority vote because of neighborhood opposition.
Following meetings with the developer and input from the neighborhhood, the number of homes was revised downward from 393 homes, to 347 homes, along with some other changes, including additional greenspace.
Despite the compromise, not all neighbors are pleased. They say the number of residents will more than double from the original plan that called for 147 homes. There are also worries about safety because of increased traffic, crowded schools, and fear of diminished property values. The original plan called for only 147 homes.
The developer wants to start work this fall.
