WESTERLY â A Narragansett-based developer is seeking to build 26 two-bedroom condominium units in 13 duplex-style buildings on a seven-acre site off of East Avenue, including four units which would be sold at low- or moderate-income pricing.
The Planning Board received a pre-application overview of the project proposed by Douglas Enterprises during its Dec. 15 meeting. The project, to be called Avondale Heights, will require issuance of a special use permit by the Zoning Board of Review and further analysis by the Planning Board once more details are submitted.
Board members asked about the grade of the property, which slopes downward from East Avenue toward Beach Street and noted that stormwater running down a hill caused problems for neighbors at another project in the town. Molly Titus, project engineer with DiPrete Engineering of Cranston, said the developer is aware of the potential problem.
