The proposed Pillsbury Commons apartment project hit a bump Monday night when two Richfield city councilmen went on the record opposing it.

Developer Ron Clark won council backing earlier this year for 70 units for affordable housing to be built on the old Public Works Maintenance Facility property at 77th and Pillsbury Avenue.

But at Monday night's Richfield City Council meeting, councilmen Fred Wroge and Pat Elliott said they wouldn't vote to support any zoning or other changes that would help the project move ahead. Wroge explained that the $12.6-million project has changed from the proposal Clark originally submitted.

"Someone's got to stand up and say let's think about this," Wroge said. "I'm just saying, as of now, publicly, I'm not going to support  any changes in zoning for whatever's necessary to make this thing happen."

Elliott added that he's "wholeheartedly opposed" to the project as it's currently configured.

Eric Rodel was one of four neighbors who spoke against the project during the council's public forum time at the beginning of Monday night's council meeting. He said he's now gathered 200 signatures from across the city opposing the project.
