The Richardson Properties Corporation is still pushing its misguided plan to cram 240 apartments, retail space and a clubhouse ontoa 25-acre parcel in Dayton.
The alternative, says Russ Richardson, is a 350,000-square-foot, four-story office building, with 1,200 parking spaces. That, he says, is what the property is zoned for.
The council wasn’t so enamored with the plan — nor should it have been.
My sense is that Mr. Richardson is overstating what can be done with the property — once you factor in buffers and other issues, the office building is likely to be smaller than he says. Plus there are questions about the market for that kind of facility.
He says the best use is a village. He’s probably right — if by best use he means best use for him.
