The proposed Truman Ranch Marketplace affordable housing community, south of Waddell Avenue between 171st and 175th avenues, has never been par for the course, either in concept or the breadth of its opposition.
That continued during the June 16 Surprise Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Representatives of Minnesota-based developer Dominium Inc., presented the Preliminary Development Plan for Truman Ranch Marketplace instead of the more common Planned Area Development presentations for newer communities.
Following eight residents and one former land owner now living in California speaking against the PDP and an Area Agency on Aging representative speaking in favor, the commission voted 6-0 to approve the plan.
