At the request of the Stonewood Homeowner's Association, District 7 Board Member Ana Rivas Logan met breifly tonight with concerned residents to discuss the development of HHH1. Accompanying Ms. Logan at the information session was project architect Alejandro Silva, Administrative Director of Facilities and Planning Fernando Albuerne and Region 6 Director of Operations Alex Martinez. The gathering provided a cursory opportunity for residents to review preliminary designs for the school.
The meeting was well-attended by approximately 25 area residents who clearly expressed unanimous opposition to the project. Apparently to the surprise of Logan, residents cited numerous concerns ranging from increased traffic, congestion, truancy, lighting, and depressed property values. There was considerable discussion regarding the availability of alternate locations, especially given the option to use eminent domain such as was exercised to acquire the current site.
Before her departure, Logan echoed back to the room what she was hearing: the residents oppose the current plan for HHH1! Just prior to taking flight, she promised the room that her staff would investigate the feasibility of moving the project site elsewhere. As of tonight, Logan clearly received the wishes of the immediate community and only time will tell what she does with it...
