Townhomes, tear-downs, and tales of change in the CD:
1. We'll start at 1320 E. Remington Ct., across the street from Juvi Hall, where a triplex of townhouses and a single-family home are already in the framing stage. The developer is applying to divide the lot into 4 pieces to accomodate their eventual sale. Although it's early, so far these look pretty interesting. They've got big windows facing the front, tall loft-like ceilings, and stairs that go all the way up to the roof to accommodate access to a deck. http://web1.seattle.gov/dpd/luib/Notice.aspx?id=8481
2. At 808 16th Ave, just across the street and a few doors north of a house that met it's end earlier in the month, there's a two-story yellow house that may soon be gone too. Lead Construction, LLC has applied to tear down the house and replace it with 4 separate townhouses, each with surface parking and about 1800 square feet of living space. http://web1.seattle.gov/DPD/permitstatus/Project.aspx?id=616
3. Remember where the MadCap farmers market produce stand used to be, across from Mt. Zion and next door to the Hearing, Speech, and Deafness Center? It's a small, triangular piece of property on the southwest corner of 19th & Madison, and the owner is applying to subdivide it into four new parcels, ranging in size from 2,017 sq. feet to 735 sq. feet. Update: From Andrew in the comments: the development here will be a restaurant and 3 live/work units, designed by PB Elemental. http://web1.seattle.gov/DPD/permitstatus/Project.aspx?id=300
4. There's two townhouses already going up on the property at 2518 E. Union, and the developer is getting everything lined up to sell them by subdividing the lot into two pieces. http://web1.seattle.gov/dpd/luib/Notice.aspx?id=8490
5. Last, but not least, we may finally see some action on the graffiti-prone eyesore just north of Ezells at 517 23rd Ave. They're planning to tear it down and replace it with two new 1,500 square-foot residences, with one facing the street and one in back behind that. It's not a wide lot, so it will be interesting to see how they handle access for parking, etc. http://web1.seattle.gov/dpd/luib/Notice.aspx?id=8506
Recommend
Future construction of new commercial (eating est.) w/ live work, prior subdivsion to create 3 lots. Possible Short plat.
