A “surprise” objection from Kubota Manufacturing on Tuesday was not enough to change the Gainesville Planning and Appeals Board’s support for the construction of a road off Goetz Circle to access an undeveloped 16-lot subdivision. Kubota has a facility nearby and owns adjacent properties, as well. A company representative said Kubota has interest in expanding in the area and that it’s industry was incompatible with planned housing that has such a close access point, describing it as an “inherent conflict.”
