Update on the Park at Prince St development
Just found out what will be going up at the Park on Prince St. The builder is K Hovanian builders who will be building stand alone units starting at $180K to $280K. There will be both two story and three story units. There will probably be a central drive to the community. They have said demolition of current structures will begin in 50 days and then afterward construction will begin.
Please feel free to make any comments regarding either this subject or any other.

Driscoll: thanks for putting this blog together, good idea. The Price Street residents may want to get rolling now on an application for speed bumps. I tried to get them on my street (Wynnwood Ln) but we are a designated emergency vehicle service route, so until that changes we're ineligible. It still took the city several months to evaluate the application and tells us that though, so the sooner the paperwork is sent in, the better.
I'd be interested to hear your professional opinion on what effect the townhomes will have on Timbergrove home prices.
the developer has dedicated an additional 5 feet to the street right of way on Prince. At the moment Prince is a 40 feet ROW, and the city now has 50 feet as a standard. Of course the street as built is less than 50 feet in many places where the city has the full, new standard ROW.
The planning commission met on Feb. 10 to consider and approve a request for a variance regarding the Nashua side of the project. Plans apparently call for a 911 gate for access to the property from Nashua, but no regular use of that street to enter the property.
I think the townhomes will be a positive to both neighborhoods (Timbergrove and Shady Acres). There is currently new construction on Prince St north of W 13th St. Getting rid of the light industrial is a real positive. As far as traffic, I think residents will split their traffic pattern 50/50 on W 13th and south/north on Prince St. depending on ultimate destination. Making application for speed humps on Prince St seems premature at this juncture. The city would probably require a traffic count first before considering granting the application for a traffic control device.
Anything that brings more potential buyers in the hood can only help expose the homes currently on the market.

Will this development be in a flood plain? I know that Prince Street was spared in TS Alison but did not know if the new maps included the property for the Park at Prince Street project.
