“This development would bring affordable housing to Berlin,” said local real estate agent Lauren Britt Hudson, who was hired by Karbyte to advise the team on local housing needs.

Commission member Pete Cosby, however, took issue with the three-story buildings proposed in plan 2A and suggested that the 5A iteration was more in tune with the area.

He suggested that if Karbyte planned to market to families, they needed a playground and a pool.
