Request from a fellow shipyard resident and owner from FaceBook post

Hey Fellow Condo Owners - Below is a message that was posted on the Shipyard FaceBook group.  It includes a link to a shared google doc. So if you have anything to share on the subject matter that is the correct place to do it.

Neighbors,

Once again, Lennar lied to us and our building (Thayer - 551 Hudson) is exploring our options. During the buying process, we all inquired about the plans for the empty lot next to us on Friedell (in between Innes and Hudson) and all were told it's being handed over to the city, who were planning to turn it into a park. Artist renditions suggested the same and it was a selling point for all of us. (We have the screens shots as proof).

Fast forward to June and rumors started it will be a large housing development. We reached out to Lennar, they confirmed again it's city owned, but this time produced an appendix document explaining that it COULD be large housing development, which no one called attention to when asked during the selling process. We've reached out to the city and OCII (the org responsible for the development) confirmed that the housing has been planned since 2003 and they're sorry it was never disclosed. The website has now been updated to reflect a building on the lot and apparently design proposals are being solicited next month for a building with ~80 units and only 40 parking spots.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!! I'm sure many of you were told the same and we some data on the magnitude! Please click on the google dock (https://docs.google.com/…/102Ub67JnVv8dr6iwCi9yb56dKB…/edit…

) and enter the info requested as well as indicate whether you'd like to join with us (column F) as we continue to understand our options.

Our goal is to work with Lennar / the City to make it the park we were promised. Lennar is still debating if they're going to be our partner in this quest and the data in the google doc will help us to better understand the magnitude of their misrepresentation and what our options will be to hold Lennar accountable.

Thanks!
