Following extensive discussions on their incomplete concepts, several residents addressed the assembly. Chairperson Kenneth Perro inquired whether the attendees were inclined to outright deny the project, sparking another round of dialogue. While applause ensued following his mention of denial, it was emphasized that there are additional considerations to ponder, as elucidated by members of the neighborhood and community. The neighborhood and community spokesperson highlighted the lack of substantive compromises from the developers concerning various aspects such as location within a Suburban 2 zoning district where the project is not permitted due to Rice Road being classified as less than a minor road, issues regarding density, height, massing, as well as the inadequacy of parking spaces for both residents and guests, among other concerns.
