Thanks to vigilant residents of Woodsdale, a developer who intended to take the top off of Stratford Hill was halted. There was standing room only at the Planning Commission who voted 6-1 NOT to allow the zone change which would allow the devastation. Kevin Coyne, the developer refused to disclose what his plans were and presented no environmental impact studies or other evidence that he had done his homework or even CARED what effects this would have on the many residents along Edgwood street. Deforestation causes run-off problems that could have been immense in this case.
As residents architects, foresters, and an attorney all spoke to the Commisssion against this change in zoning while 125 Woodsdalers watched. There was cheering and applause when the results were announced.
Well done residents of Woodsdale. Please don't let the hill ever be destroyed...it holds so many memories and serves as a backdrop to our idyllic neighborhood.
