Developer drops Ellsworth condo plan after resistance from neighbors
Strong neighborhood opposition to a proposed housing development in Ellsworth has led the applicant to withdraw her plan.
The Ellsworth American reported Susan Harvey Chavez had proposed building either condominiums or apartments, or both, at 10 Parcher St. Chavez wrote the Ellsworth’s city planner that she’s “very tired of the smear campaign” and saw “absolutely no chance of ever getting approved” by the city’s planning board, according to the paper.
Chavez bought the property earlier this year. The application was to build a nine-unit housing project that could have been marketed as either condos or apartments, but neighbors said it wasn’t a good fit for their neighborhood.
Allowed uses for residential projects in that district that do not require planning board review include single-family homes and duplexes, according to the paper.
