Common Council voting down two housing projects on Loch Lomond Road that would have seen 187 residential lots developed.
But the nay votes which included Councillors Bill Farren and Mel Norton, said developing in that area went against the new municipal plan, which focuses on building the uptown core. A dejected Mayor Court was none too pleased calling some of the councillors "anti-development" and charging the votes were politically motivated.
Court says the area was an ideal spot for housing as it was close to commercial areas as well as schools.
