If Phase II was a completely separate line there wouldn't be even the appearance of a conflict. However since he owns property on the existing line, his voting on the extension of that line would be, even if it's just the appearance of a conflict. This would be because decisions made wrt Phase II would affect various aspects of Phase I.
Unless you could quantify a benefit to his "interest" of proximity to Phase I due to non-construction of Phase II, I'm not sure I see it, if the vote is NOT to build Phase II.
