Campus: Group searches for
solution to Villard eyesore'
Continued from page 1
for-sale list were all part of University
Housing’s inventory.
The group agreed that the manage
ment responsibilities for the approxi
mately 20 properties would be trans
ferred to another area of the University
by June 30.
The group also discussed, during
the May meeting, the possibility of
the University moving a house this
summer; a move that would be done
to fill a vacancy in what is known in
the east campus development plan as
the “low-density residential” area.
The plan, agreed upon in 2003 by
University officials and neighborhood
representatives, calls for an area of
residential housing to be maintained
between the campus and the neigh
borhood directly to the east. A house
along Villard Street has been empty
for an extensive amount of time and
task group members said they were
concerned it was becoming an eye
sore for neighborhood residents.
Vice President for Student Affairs
and task group member Anne Leavitt
told the Emerald that the decision re
garding the Villard street house is to
“either find the funds to bring the
house up to standards or to possibly
substitute another house of the same
maybe vintage, but in better condition,
onto that acreage so that the residential
neighborhood would be maintained.”
Both Leavitt and University Vice
President for Research and Graduate
Studies Rich Linton, who chairs the
task group, said the group’s work is
nearing completion.
“Really we’re just trying to be good
stewards of the neighborhood and put
some basic polices in place to maintain
that, stabilize it and keep mindful of the
long-range plans of the institution as it
has needs to expand and do that as pos
itively as we can and with as little im
pact on the institution, the community
and the neighborhood,” Linton said.
