Under "SITE WALKS TO BE SCHEDULED" one of the agenda items is called:
Pre-Application: “Coventry Housing Associates Corp.”; Director Julie
Leddy
Comprehensive Permit for Low/Mod Housing Project
AP 38, Lot 100; Zone GB and AP 30, Lot 161; Zone R-20
Tiogue Avenue
-- My comments --
1. Plat 30 lot 161 is a 6.5 acre lot at the western end of Overview Drive and near Haywood Dr., Hilltop Ave., Larchwood Dr., Oak Rd. and Pine Rd., off of Arnold Road just north of Little Tiogue Lake. Per the Town of Coventry web site the owner is listed as Arnold Kaufman.
2. Plat 38 lot 100 is a 6 acre parcel on the south side of Tiogue Ave. just to the west of the intersection of Tiogue and Arnold Road. Currently there is a commercial building on the site that houses several businesses including Hollywood Video and the Dollar Store. Per the Town of Coventry web site the owner is listed as Arnold Kaufman. This lot is adjacent to P-30 L-161 which is just to the south, so these two parcels together would total over 12 acres of potential low and moderate housing.
3. These properties are in District 4; it's unfortunate that there is no TC member in this district right now to represent the neighbors in this situation. I hope that both D4 TC candidates will take notice of this and plan to attend the site walk.
