Campbell residents question development plan

CAMPBELL — The clearing of trees on eight acres at the southeast corner of U.S. Route 422 and Sycamore Drive has residents there wondering how it will effect their properties and nearby Roosevelt Park.

“I realize development is important to the city, but so are its residents,” said Diane DeLuco of Sycamore Drive, who presented a list of concerns about the project to members of city council during its meeting tonight.

Mayor John Dill said a Campbell businessman, Mike Kerpelis, purchased the property and plans to spend $5 million to develop it. Dill said Kerpelis’ original plan was to build a strip plaza, but that at this point no specifc plans have been developed. Construction is a year away, the mayor said.
