July 27, 20213 yr The Oakley Kroger is starting to age. I don’t shop there often but I did today and I couldn’t help but noticed how it’s starting to slip among its peer Kroger’s. The store uses to feel way more well kept and the food court concept in that Kroger is largely dead. It hasn’t been that long but the store needs a refresh IMO. It just feels like it’s lagging. I also feel really thrown back by the security gates when you walk in and the security tower monitor in the parking lot. No other Kroger has that from what I’ve encountered (the security gates that is).

July 27, 20213 yr I live in Oakley. There are TWO Kroger stores in Oakley. One in the far north section (in shopping area called Oakley Station, I think). The other is on the south edge in shopping area called Hyde Park Plaza between Paxton Ave and Wasson Rd (even though the plaza's name is HPP, it is within the Oakley neighborhood boundaries). The one in HPP was significantly remodeled late 2020/early 2021. Which Kroger are you talking about?

August 2, 20213 yr On 12/17/2020 at 3:18 PM, 7generations said: There is no trustee on the OCC Board who advocates for more density. Developer of this block between Kennedy and Little Duck Creek originally offered 3 proposals for this block, one of which had a significant quantity of apartments (density) - 50 or so, I think. The trustees showed no interest in supporting that option. The Oakley Master Plan (finished in 2018 or was it 19) states no interest in increasing multi-family residences. The preference is owner-occupied SFHs. No renter, not even renters of single fam houses. Somewhat related, the trustees also never advocate for affordable housing. There was also no trustee opposition to Swenson’s which will definitely increase vehicle traffic and will decrease walkability because you won’t be able to walk up to Swensons and eat there on site, although there’s some talk about a picnic table being provided, which will work only on Goldilocks weather days. Sheesh. To be clear, the attitude is not just of the members of the Board of Trustees - there are very very few residents or business owners who actively, politically advocate for greater density and certainly not for renters nor for affordable housing in Oakley. Some inaccurate and/or poster’s opinion being stated as fact. The developer rescinded their version of plan for adding affordable apartments on top as their deeper research showed it not be profItable; therefore, it was never an option that OCC could vote on, nor was any residential an option. The Oakley Master plan is a guide, and what is intended is a desire to close the gap between % owned & % rental. OCC decisions show that multi-family and density both have been supported when it was reasonable. And ownership and/or single family can be more than SF zoned lots, as many of the new developments are single family attached, putting more units on single lots. The plan also urges minimizing commercial creep into residential areas, but in this situation that was overridden by several factors: DCED/city development of Kennedy connector & subsequent sale of city property to CinFed and hubbard radio, and unanimous desire of all the homeowners be able to sell & get fair compensation. The city actions made this section a bit of an island, limiting homeowners ability to sell for fair compensation on their own. Edited August 3, 20213 yr by jag09
August 2, 20213 yr The OCC (Oakley Community Council) Bd of Trustees periodically emails a newsletter to all "members" of the OCC. Any resident or business owner or worker in Oakley can join for a $10? annual fee. The July 29 news letter contained the following: "At the July 6 OCC meeting, OCC Trustee Troy McAndrews brought up a request by Rob Smyjunas of Vandercar Holdings to gauge interest in them constructing a building with 2 hockey rinks for youth & recreational use in Oakley Station. Vandercar is looking to possibly fill one of the last open parcels in this long-standing development near the Cinemark Theaters. The two hockey rinks and concessions would operate as a non-profit entity, built primarily to support the hotel and restaurants in Oakley Station and beyond, plus provide a hockey outlet in the city. This is very preliminary at this time, and we plan to invite Vandercar to a future OCC meeting to provide more details to the board and community."

My estimates puts total at closer to 13,700. Time will tell what the 2020 census counts show us - our tract that is predominantly rental properties is lagging in its response rate. And the 2020 data has Oakley at 12,556. Factor in @1000/1100 new additions for approved developments and you get pretty close to my 13,700 number.

Just look at what they created between Madison Rd and Crossroads Church. Parking in front (instead of in back) and only one story tall. Higher stories could have been added easily. And they are gonna do the same on the NE corner of Madison and Kennedy. Sadly, the Oakley Community Council Board of Trustees does not advocate for smarter development that would be a much better use of this space. S.N.A.F.U.
January 12, 20223 yr In defense of Oakley, it does not appear that there are any approvals necessary to move this forward so I doubt the Morelia Group will ever come to the community for support.

Even though it’s not dense at all I am glad to see this area getting redevelopment and hopefully with Ilsco closing there will be a plan with some dense apartments in that location (I am sure the people who bought those $400,000 houses along Duck Creek will be happy).

I also would like to add that hopefully Duck Creek will be converted to a natural, flood preventable status. That's probably not likely, as it would take up a lot of space that is currently privately owned, but one can dream. I think Ilsco is over 10 acres so it could be a great opportunity for a TOD, environmental friendly development.

They pretty much maximized the footprint there and it certainly does not look great on the side facing Madison Park.
