At the end of the meeting, the town council voted 5-1 (Salain opposing) to designate the upper portion of the property as recreational and tasked the town manager to begin looking at how to implement that recreational use. The lower portion (near Crane Circle along the creek) was designated for mixed-use and residential. That vote is in the video embedded below so you can see and hear exactly what the motion was and how the council voted.
The full meeting can be seen via the video embedded below. The video is 1 hour, 23 minutes, and 16 seconds in length.
