691 W Tennessee St. is about to be more of a nightmare than it is now.
The traffic at that intersection is beyond capacity for the infrastructure that is possible there.
Ten stories?
Some of the LEOs I know have informed me that the existing motel there has been a haven for drugs and prostitutes for decades. Perhaps this gentrification will bring in a classier level of prostitutes and drug users.
Still, ten stories is going to create a claustrophobic sack there unless it is some inspired architectural design, which, in this town, will not happen.
@john conlin Only for us “citizens”. Developers can do as they please. My 400 square foot addition was rejected yet three lots away a new “affordable housing” project was green lighted in a single family housing area.
Don’t worry, obtaining a building permit is impossible!
Well the process of develop and build-out here in Tally/Leon depends largly on campaign contributions from the principals and their agents to our elected officials.
Thanks for providing the names of some of the Principal Planners along with the agents incase any of us private citizens want to run for public office in Tally/Leon.
This way we can contact them and work out those all important financials needed to get a leg up to run a successful well financed campaign for the win!
Isn’t there a much bigger local gov vote happening on Thursday at Blueprint?
Foodies is recommended to not be funded by Blueprint dollars, but Somo Walls is for something like $2 million?
What is going on with that?
@David — Back in the 80s the Collins Brothers presented a case for rezoning some land in Huntington Woods with near zero lot lines. They called them “garden homes”, to be built on 45′ wide lots, with one side of the house 1′ off the lot line, a 30′ “garden home” and 14′ on the other side for driveway/etc. The meeting was a sham, with the Brothers lying about numerous items before the commission and the general public in attendance severely limited in their questions and comments. I had a lot to say and ask, but found myself forced into silence since one of the members was on the Board of Regents and the company I worked for was negotiating a $5M sale to FSU.
Zero (or one foot) lot lines are impossible. Get a bad neighbor and you can’t even do routine maintenance on your own house.
I can assume that the Capital Court Towers is going in on only vacant lot left on Austin Davis Avenue, good place for it since there are about 4 Charter Schools across the street.
691 W Tennessee St. seems like a good place for a Hotel, especially since there is a Hotel already there BUT, it hasn’t done well in a couple Decades, hopefully a new one will do a lot better.
7.76 Acres that will have 53 Single Family Detached Homes with ZERO Lot Lines. PLUS Roads and Sidewalks. When did we do away with Lot Lines? My House sits on .46 Acre and I can sell it right now for about $190K BUT, if I can tear it down and put 6 Attached Townhomes on that Lot, I could sell each one for $200K.
