Permits Filed for 23rd & Madison Development

I am supposedly on the city's mailing list for this project, and I don't remember getting anything since last spring.

Is this to fill the currently undeveloped Southeast corner, next to the Crush restaurant?

This is the one with the garage on Denny. Watch the illegal left turns!

This one has just been submitted and they haven't had the second design meeting yet; the notice on the city's website (Scott's link in the posting) is the first notice that goes out after the applicants submit the master use permit app. There will be another notice that is sent to people who signed up at the early design guidance meeting, letting them know about the design recommendation meeting (once it's scheduled). First the planner has to look at this application to see if the applicant did what they were supposed to, in response to the board's comments at the last meeting. So, if you see the plans that is what the applicant is proposing as the design now, but it could change by the time of the next design review meeting if the planner requires it.

I'm pleased to see a building there and I thought the design options were really nice for that corner. But, as I said in this post: http://www.centraldistrictnews.com/2009/02/16/traffic-issue- Design Review is blind to traffic impacts even though the placement of the garage affects both traffic patterns and the design of the building. It's a flaw in the process.

If you live on E Denny or 24th, you might want to follow this or call SDOT or something. I don't know.

Not only doesn't the design review board look at traffic, DPD doesn't either. You may get SDOT's attention, but they can't do anything the way the process is set up.
