Urbannizer Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 I wonder if this is still planned as condos. Did a quick search and no new info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 It looks like townhomes pads on the eastern portion to me. Plumbers were tearing up Center St for sewer hookups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 @hindesky You were right to assume townhomes.

J Money Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 These are the worst kind of townhomes imo. Zero curb appeal, massive curb cuts, no backyards. When I look at Zillow and see a townhome that doesn't show a picture of the front of the house, I can assume that it's one of these. It's almost like the realtors are ashamed to show you what it looks like from the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angostura Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I would definitely trade a reduced setback requirement (0-5 ft) for a limit on curb cuts. If you could build at a 5-ft setback, the square footage you'd "lose" doing a central driveway is about equal to what you currently lose to the front setback, and you could build about the same FAR, with better pedestrian environment and without giving up 4-5 parking spaces.

That alone would fulfill parking needs, but that would mean actually fixing road infrastructure and we ain't got no time for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Perry townhomes built in the late 90's tended to have 2 curb cuts for entrance and exit, and the garages in the back. Think Baldwin Square, bounded by La Branch, Tuam, Austin, and Anita. They still look pretty decent, 21 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerNut Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 They could have just put a permeable gravel surface the length of the townhomes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
