Architect Eugene R. Montezinos said the design is compatible with other downtown buildings. One plot of land includes 4.9 acres that once were the blighted, condemned Commuters Plaza on the southwest corner of Colfax and Smith Streets. A five-level parking deck with 1,256 spaces is also planned. The second site is on the north side of Wood Street, stretching from Maple Street to Woodwork Lane. Forty row houses would be spread among six three-story buildings.
Some residents say the condos are too tall and too dense.
I think five stories is better. The ambience of the village will be impacted.
