Homeowners Win Apartment Battle in Fremont
Parkmont homeowners won a partial victory after a three hour clash with Dan Bodily over a 139 unit apartment project at Counry Drive and Paseo Padre Parkway. The council upheld the residents appeal, ordering a six foot masonry wall with mature trees to shield the property. Substitutions in construction like metal car ports and wood screens were not fully blocked, but Bodily faced pressure from council members over unapproved changes. The meeting also approved a quarry rehabilitation plan along Alameda Creek to outline park development and funding options.
