McCuen introduced speakers Roy Cressinger and Mark and Ted Cresswell.Roy described how he originally acquired
property on Mill Road approximately 40 years ago, by bidding on the
property.The existing resident was
given a life estate and lived there until 5 or 6 years ago.Roy introduced Mark who described the
townhouse project planned for the 12.5 acre parcel, located directly opposite
the end of Roosevelt Avenue.It will be
called Brentwood Heights, named for Roy’s late son, Brent.There will be 59 high-end townhouses.9 separate buildings will be constructed in
3-5 phases. Each unit will be 2,350 square feet on two floors.The floor plans can be fully customized by
each buyer.Each unit will have a 1-car
garage with 3 additional parking spaces.The units will have a large amount of storage.Each unit will be prepared for the 3-day
installation of individual elevators if an owner ever needs easier access to
the 2nd floor.All structures
will have quality exterior finishes on all sides.The units will cost $235-250,000 which is
higher than the nearby townhouse development.The project will have a central pavilion available to all condo owners.There will be a 3,700 foot walking path
around the development.There will be a
“wetlands” area and the development will have 3 additional over-flow parking
areas.Mark stressed the convenient
location of living here with all necessary amenities
within walking distance.
