Belleair Development Group who is responsible for those \u201caffordable living,\u201d four-story monstrosities being built on Eighth Avenue and Donegan Road, now want to cram the very same thing into the former Terra brownfield\/landfill in Largo.<\/p>\n
This developer has never convinced us that this site will either be properly remediated or stabilized. Prior testing of Terra proved it was contaminated and terribly unstable, not surprising for a dump with no liner.<\/p>\n
Located right next to Rainbow Village, this will add a total of 1,000-plus residents in less than a mile in diameter. Not to mention how horribly this will tax our roads, drainage and other vital infrastructure.<\/p>\n
This is tremendous overreach to have two public housing facilities literally back-to-back, and we are grateful to the Pinellas Planning Council and Commission for voting this down twice and we will be applauding their efforts to continue to do so.<\/p>\n
