Jan Vuicich likes her neighborhood near the intersection of Hayden and Osborn roads the way it is: with a nice homey feel to it.
But she says that feel is under attack by the developers of what is known as the Greenbelt 88 project.
She isn’t alone.
Vuicich has obtained more than 500 signatures on a petition opposing the development that would replace the Lucky Plaza shopping center with a mixed-use complex that would include a four-story, 278-unit apartment building and 25,000 square feet of ground-level retail and restaurant space.
The apartment building is too high and, with too many units, that will cause too much traffic, Vuicich said.
“At first, we tried to work with the developer to try and step things down but at this last (open house) meeting they just said ‘No, we’re just not going to (change) it.’”
