Setting the Record Straight... AGAIN
In keeping with the tidal wave of disinformation being currently offered by the Barrington Town Planner, an article in the Barrington Times dated July 24, 2013 concerning the proposed Sowams Nursery subdivision by the East Bay Community Development Corporation (EBCDC), offers the following: “Mr. Hervey said the type of zoning for that area –Village zone – calls for five units per developable acre of land.
Unless the Barrington Town Building Official, Zoning Department and all current Town zoning maps, including those in the Barrington Comprehensive Community Plan, are incorrect, the Sowams Nursery, the site of the proposed subdivision, is not a “Village Zone”. As seen on page 19 of the Barrington Comprehensive Community Plan (or see the third Map on our Library page, or on MainStreetMaps.com), Sowams Nursery is zoned R25, which means “Residential, 25,000 square feet, or 2 units per acre". The property has been so zoned for decades.
We will continue our campaign to state the facts concerning this ill conceived $14.5 million, Corporate owned, multi-unit apartment rental complex based on factual information, and reliance on the law which offers reasonable and reliable standards for the denial of the project.
