Developer Presentations:
Aerial project (Josh and Josh): 1800 block of 6th
Project was originally for 7th, however, due to engineering challenges, they have tabled it.
New site is for 1816 6th Ave North
2 parcels being utilized
Aerial is still closing on the properties
This will remove a quad- and triplex
They intend for these to be more cottage style (similar to the ones on 4th, which were all pre-
sold) 3 units in front, with 4 in the rear flanking a courtyard, 20’ set back 11 parking spaces in the rear, 5 on the street (resulting in 1.8/per) This will be an SP – submitting end of April, to be heard August 4. They will come back to SNNA with drawings
Price range will be $350-400K, 1800-2100sqft. These will likely be 2.5 stories (3b/3br)
Update on 6th & Garfield
Michael Garrigan returns
Both 6th and Garfield will be No Parking along their frontage. This will become 20 units
Public hearing for planning will be May 5
John Root brought architectural drawings. These will be brick, stucco, and shingle.
2.5 stories with rooftop decks (set behind the front facing).
These are row-home (old boston) style.
They are adding a 4ft sidewalk, and an 8’ grass strip. They are also adding tree ports.
Pricing has yet to be determined – but will likely be slightly higher ($400s)
1800ish sqft
Project will be phased – Garfield first, 6th second, and then the alley units.
At the fastest, this will start in the fall or the end of winter (feb, march most likely)
