The agreement with SPGL would have been limited to 80 units. I believe the maximum density was 237 units,” Jones said, adding that the city of Key West has already set aside 150 building permits for the Trumbo Road workforce housing. But presumably a different developer wouldn’t have those same concerns. “We had a lot of self-imposed limits in our agreement with SPGL, including that we wouldn’t build a third story even if it was allowed by the city’s height limits, and we had said we wouldn’t build to the maximum density allowed on that property. The withdrawal of SPGL, which was going to fully fund the housing development, could give the school district more flexibility with the number of units built on the property and the height of the buildings, said Gaelen Jones, the school district’s internal services director. “We are still losing teachers and having potential teachers turn down job offers here because they can’t afford housing in the Keys.” “The urgency for housing is still there,” Axford told the school board on July 11. Axford emphasized to the Keys Weekly on Thursday, July 13 that the Mollestons sincerely regretted that they would be unable to continue with the partnership and planned housing units for the school district.Īxford told the board that members of the district’s housing task force were amenable to reissuing a Request for Proposals from potential developers of that property.
