**kenny habul is coming to park avenue**

This past July, we learned of “proposed” (the existing houses on the properties had already been razed and land clearing begun) of an 18,000+ Sq Ft Mega-Mansion to be built on four merged lots on Park Avenue and Maple.

The proposed dwelling would be 18,631 square feet, to contain five bedrooms, two three-car garages, a basement including an indoor pool, squash court and art gallery and an area for the applicant’s car collection would provide 40 spaces. As part of the house design, a center atrium would be provided, and as part of the patio adjacent to the first floor of the house, an outdoor pool is proposed. A tennis court is also proposed, as well as a detached guest suite that would have a living room and two bedrooms.

Surprising no one, the neighbors don’t like it, and are saying so:

Neighbors Voice Opposition to Greenwich Mega Mansion at Maple and Park

Tuesday’s Planning & Zoning Commission meeting included a discussion item for a single family home proposed to replace four demolished houses at 63 Maple Avenue, 75 Maple Avenue, 59 Maple Avenue and 8 Park Avenue.
…. David DeWahl from 102 Park Ave said the actual total footage, including underground space was approximately 39,000 sq ft – 18,600+ above ground and 20,000 in the finished lower level. There is also a guest house of unspecified square footage.
Based on the owners’ pre-application, Mr. DeWahl said the above ground portion of the main residence would be roughly five times as large as the median size of the 15 homes located most closely to the proposed structure.

But wait, the would-be mansion owner is an “environmentalist”, so that’s allright, eh, mate?

It comes as deep relief to learn that Kenny Habul, the owner of this proposed monstrosity is an Australian former race car driver grown rich on the solar energy scam, and is “a leader in sustainable building technology”. Nothing shrieks concern for the environment louder than an 18,600 sq. ft. mansion with two 3-car garages and additional underground garaging for another 40.

And a separate guest cottage, of course; it’s this last that will probably be designated moderate income housing for one of the Habul maids and bring the whole project under CT’s 8-30g protection.
