Town Branch neighbors review student-housing project

Council members attending the Ward One Town Branch meeting with developers on May 15, 2008, were Adella Gray and Brenda Thiel of Ward One, Nancy Allen of Ward Four and Lioneld Jordan and Shirley Lucas of Ward Four. The proposed Hill Place student-apartment development on the failed Aspen Ridge townhouse project site south of Sixth Street, North of Eleventh Street and west of Hill Avenue is inside Ward one, but is separated from Ward Four to the north only by Sixth Street and from Ward Four only by the railroad. They will be among the eight aldermen on Tuesday night considering approval of the Hill Place planned-zoning district which would allow more than 800 college students to live on the property.
Neighbors are invited to comment again Tuesday evening, probably the final time before the council votes on the project.
Some engineering details are to be worked out between the developers and city engineer's office after the PZD is authorized by the council.
