Protests Fail To Halt Rezoning For Apartments

October 13, 1988 | By David White of The Sentinel Staff KISSIMMEE — About 20 angry people who live in the Oak Run subdivision predicted their property values would drop and crime rates would rise if a new subdivision is built east of their homes. They also said traffic would worsen on Mill Slough Road and Woodcrest Boulevard if Palm State Development in Lakeland goes through with its plans to build about 180 houses and 200 apartments over three to five years. The city commission Tuesday night gave a big boost to those plans, voting 3 to 2 to annex the developer's 98 acres and approve zoning that could allow houses, stores and apartments on the land, which hugs Florida's Turnpike to the west. Oak Run residents blasted the decision. ''I think we just went through the motions,'' said George Selah of 2409 Fulton Road . ''They had their minds made up all the time,'' agreed Virginia Cook , 2413 Fulton Road . ''I'm worried about seeing

Safe theft suspects facing jail time | Local News

Three Gloucester residents were told this week that they face time behind bars even if they agree to guilty pleas on charges they acted as a maintenance crew to enter an elderly North Andover woman 's apartment and make off with a safe containing jewelry, documents and other belongings last December. Superior Court  Judge Timothy Feeley told Michael Lorenzana, 39, of 14 Sadler St., that he could expect a prison sentence of three years and a day, while Sean Peres, 36, of 3 Lighthouse Way, would face two years and a day in state prison for their roles in the scheme that targeted an 81-year-old woman.  Barbara Brooks Williams , 50, of Gloucester, would face a 2 1/2-year term in a house of corrections, said  Carrie Kimball Monahan , spokeswoman for the office of Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett . The three were in court Thursday for a lobby conference designed to let defendants know what terms a judge would impose if they choose to enter guilty pleas rather then go to trial

Why Denver apartment buildings don’t recycle, according to property managers

Cheesman Park neighborhood . (Kevin J.

Beaty/Denverite) Denver is really bad at recycling, like only 18 percent of waste gets recycled or composted bad, and part of the reason is its apartments. The city doesn’t pick up from these multi-family dwellings, nor does it require them to recycle, but as an apartment-dweller myself, I had to know more about why not.  After all, a survey from the nonprofit CoPIRG found that 88 percent of Denver residents find recycling is “very important or essential.” Even if the city doesn’t require recycling, apartment residents might balk at the absence of recycling, right? I started with Boutique Apartment s, the company that manages the building where I live. And yes, sometimes residents do request recycling, said the company’s ma

A decade after the crash, Shannon Valley housing estate , on the outskirts of Ballaghaderreen, in Co Roscommon, remains unfinished and partly in ruins. Although the number of “ unfinished housing developments ” has fallen sharply since 2010, Shannon Valley is one of hundreds that still dot the country. The Guls: ‘Every day I put rats in the bin’ Fatima Gul says her little brother, Yousaf, doesn’t like the rats. He jumps up on the sofa or the table in the living room when they come into the house. Their parents don’t allow Fatimar, who is 10, or her nine-year-old sister, Maryam, or Yousaf and his twin, Zohra, who are five, to play near the houses on the other side of their green. It’s too close to the rats and the rubble. Shannon Valley “ ghost estate ” outside Ballaghaderreen, Co Roscommon.
