The Sisters Planning Commission will decide whether to approve a revised version of a controversial subdivision plan at their first meeting of 2023. The revised plan reflects changes requested by citizens at previous hearings.

At the close of their December 8 public hearing on the Sunset Meadows Master Plan, the Planning Commission left the written record open to allow for submittal of additional information.

The Planning Commission is scheduled to deliberate and make a decision at their next meeting, on Thursday, January 19. With the public hearing now closed, the Commission will not receive any additional oral testimony regarding this proposal. Submittal of additional written information to be considered is limited to specific open record periods.

During Open Period No. 1, the City received four citizen submittals, a letter from the attorney representing George Hale and Woodhill Homes (developer of Sunset Meadows), and the revised plans and supplemental materials from engineer Hayes McCoy representing the applicant.
