Hatred for project intensifies

Nearly 50 people attended Tuesday’s city council meeting, many to ask the city to reconsider a 208-unit apartment complex in the Fieldstone subdivision. “I am fairly certain I know why many of you are here tonight,” said Mayor Ron Jacobson at the beginning of the public comment period, adding he welcomed their input. “However, the council cannot act on the issue because it is not on the agenda.” Fieldstone resident Taj Wilkerson, who was elected to speak on behalf of the Save Our Subdivision organization, told the council his neighbors understand that change and growth in Post falls is inevitable, but they felt it is the council’s role to make sure growth is well thought out. “Many of the people who bought houses were led to believe that there would be no apartments,” he said, adding he didn’t believe the public was well notified before the developer was granted city permission to build the apartments/ Jeff Selle , Coeur d’Alene Press.
