To The Editor of the New Canaan Sentlnel,
I respect the rights of the opponents of building a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) for senior citizens on the site of the Town’s mulch pile known as Parcel E across the street from the main campus of Waveny Park. What is upsetting is their use of fake imagery and the mischaracterization of the proposed project as condominiums in the circulars the group is circulating throughout our community.
With regard to the image, the group has superimposed a picture of a 7-9 story high rise building behind Waveney’s architect’s design of the building as presented at the Town Council Meeting. Waveny’s plan, if approved, is for a three story main building and two two-story wings.
The unnamed opponents also characterize the CCRC proposal as a “condo” development. This is not a condominium complex. This is a Life Plan Community, which is a residential campus that will provide senior care in one location for both New Canaan’s senior citizens and those of the surrounding communities.
Yes, the unnamed opponents have the right to express their opinions. Just please do it without using fear tactics of fake images and emotionally charged language.
