Townhomes plan trimmed after resident pushback and traffic talks
Lynne Williams of Chadwick Avenue voices concern that revised plans tie hands and worsen traffic while noting lost trees and inadequate parking. Developer Eric Mioduski cites August 2022 input guiding a 70 percent density reduction from 185 to 50 units, lower traffic impact, 3.4 acre site occupancy, more wildlife habitat, reduced height to two stories, and parking rising from 1.3 to two spaces per unit.
