Hearing on condo proposal delayed

HYDE PARK NORTH - The City Council's reconsideration of a proposal to build condominiums on Bayshore Boulevard has been rescheduled for 5:30 p.m. May 26 at City Hall, 315 E Kennedy Blvd.
The issue was supposed to go to the council March 10, but the developer asked to postpone the public hearing because only five of seven council members were present. The developer's attorney, Truett Gardner, said they wanted the full council because approval requires four votes.
Crescent Resources of North Carolina wants to rezone 1.8 acres at 319 Bayshore Blvd., now home to a 72-unit apartment complex that dates back more than 50 years.
In January, the council shot down a plan by Crescent to build a 20-story, 168-unit building that bridged a narrow street that divides the property. After neighbors objected to increasing traffic in the area, the council directed the developer to come back with a downsized plan.
The company now has a new plan, which calls for 149 units in two buildings - one with eight stories and another with 24.
