With
regard to the Planned development at 1140 Prince Avenue, the HBNA Steering Committee
deliberately chose to adopt a position open to negotiation to try to gain a voice
in shaping the inevitable development along the Prince Avenue corridor. We feel
that taking this position is more productive in gaining recognition by the powers
that be, not only for this development, but for future proposals as well. As to
the success of that decision only time will tell.
Our statement to the Planning
Commission on January 8 expressed serious concerns about this plan with respect
to scale (it is too large), traffic (nearly 1,800 car trips per day), appropriateness
(it requires rezoning of two residential lots to commercial use), precedent (what
impact a development of this size will have on future development along the Prince
corridor) and incompatibility with the Future Land Use Plan's definition of mixed
use development. Currently, these concerns have not been addressed to our satisfaction. At
this time we are continuing our efforts to reach a solution amenable to all parties
involved. If you have additional information relating to this proposed development,
please contact Tony Eubanks, Chairman HBNA - chairman@historicboulevard.org
