The letter, from Dannen Real Estate Development, said the property is well suited for a large lot residential subdivision.

Council member Chris Czernek clarified the move will not set a new standard for the city.
“This council has been very very adamant about saving every commercial piece we can, but when you add everything up here, and the schools that are going across the way and everything else that’s around that property, it really does make sense there,” he said.
