The artist’s rendition of the site and concept is just a pretty picture. As for the plan, it is over ambitious and that is considering the success the Clement people have had with infill development such as Fourth St. East, turning the former Julius Miller Furniture site into a very smart property. 108 condos at Marina 200 might better be reconsidered in a more scaled down manner but the Clement people as have other recent developers from out of the city prefer and demand immediate response and a go ahead to their planning as profits are tied up here. Another point the developers want presales to indicate the development will be profitable. So although the ball diamonds are not overly used and greenery is pleasant I can appreciate the Clement concept.
