Here’s the latest designs developer Sheila Firari is proposing for the lots she owns with a partner on Bluemound Rd. west of N. 50th St. in Story Hill, the site of the former greenhouse. Note that the garages are on the west side of the houses and very near Mitchell Blvd. Park. Previous, similar layout proposals have been rejected by neighborhood residents.

The plans received a lukewarm reception when Firari presented them to a group of neighborhood residents according to a couple people who were there.

Our field of dreams is now a butchered prairie throwing clouds of dust on our neighborhood. Are the current plans realistic given our recession like economy and the ambience created by the bars and restaurants on Bluemound? Perhaps we need to challenge our thinking for this property. In the meantime, allow this property to become a natural prairie and let the flowers bloom.
