The petition
We, the undersigned, strongly oppose Warmington Homes/Catellus Development’s plan for a 36 unit development project at the former Island High School site at Eagle Avenue and Everett, 1 block east of Park St.
As it stands, the plan calls for ALL of the low and very low income housing units to be removed from the developer’s Grand Marina site, and relocated to the less than 1 acre corner site of the former Island High School, along with dozens of other units.
This clearly is contrary to the spirit of the Inclusionary Housing Initiative, the law requiring developers to build a certain percentage of moderate to low income units along with those at market value, and seeks to create neighborhoods with a mix of income levels.
We believe this development, if built as planned, will be too large, too dense, and totally out of keeping with other homes in the neighborhood. We urge the Planning Board, the City Council, and the Board of Education to come up with a more appropriate or alternative use design in keeping with the nature of the neighborhood.
