Station Hill Development opposition
Summary
Residents are sounding the alarm on Audubon Land Development's plan for 12 HOA townhomes on the steep, wooded slope right over the Gay Street Bridge at 501 Gay Street. They worry about clear-cutting trees, a 20-foot retaining wall an HOA can't afford to maintain, dangerous driveway placements on congested Vanderslice Street, and steep-slope waivers shifting risk onto taxpayers.

Impact analysis
If private retaining-wall infrastructure on the steep slope fails, residents fear taxpayers could end up footing the bill.
The developer and future townhome owners would gain buildable land on a slope most projects would avoid.
North-side Vanderslice Street residents say they'd lose green space, heritage trees, and street safety.
