The Sherwood Forest Citizens Association is not agreeable to a new rental apartment complex being proposed in the neighborhood, but would be comfortable with it if units were owner-occupied, says its former president, Gary Patureau. “That, of course, means fewer homes with a more traditional design,” Patureau explains. As Daily Report reported Thursday, developer Eugene Ji has agreed to pare down the scope of Green Cottage Rental Community—which would be located on the grounds of the old aquatic club on Mollylea Drive—from 94 units to about 60. However, Patureau today clarifies that the neighborhood association will oppose the development unless it resembles owner-occupied complexes in the Old Hammond Highway area. Ji says he is willing to work with the neighborhood association. —Adam Pearson
Editor’s note: An item appearing in Daily Report PM on Thursday incorrectly stated that the Sherwood Forest Citizens Association endorses the Green Cottage Rental Community. It will support the project only if the units are owner-occupied. Daily Report regrets the error.
