Edgewood To Acquire Town House Land?
By Bob Steiner
As previously reported on our blog (please see “Town House Community Not Approved”, Dec 23rd, post 336),  the Edgewood planning and zoning commission turned down a request by local developer, Tim Oden, to re-zone the Northwest Corner of the intersection at State Road 344 and Venus to allow the construction of a town house community. This request was turned down due to the extensive opposition of many residents residing in close proximity to that location. After the measure was voted down, town staff (Ms. Mahalick) assured the residents present that the town was not aware of any “other” plans for that location.
I recently was passed some pertinent information regarding the town house “ site” from an “anonymous” source. Normally I would give no credence to such input and simply regard it as a rumor, but this source has proven to be accurate on other occasions. so I decided to try and corroborate the information. In so doing, I was surprised to find out that while what I had heard was “speculative”, it could well be accurate.  If true, the people near the site need to be aware of what is happening.
