Re: 2316-2320 Colfax Apartments
The actual development has yet to be approved. Only the demolition of the two houses has been approved

Re: 2316-2320 Colfax Apartments
I believe 2320 Colfax will be discussed at the next LHENA meetings:
August 13: LHENA Zoning and Planning committee meeting at 6:30 p.m.
August 20: LHENA Board meeting at 6:30 p.m.
Both are at the VFW.

I may have to attend since I basically live on top of it.
Re: 2316-2320 Colfax Apartments
I recall hearing something about this at the last LHENA meeting. Board member Tim Dray announced it, and stated specifically that any resident or business owner who shows up next week will be able to vote. Drag all your Wedge friends, 'cause it'll be a LHENA hootenanny.

I don't think that's allowed by the neighborhood charter.I recall hearing something about this at the last LHENA meeting. Board member Tim Dray announced it, and stated specifically that any resident or business owner who shows up next week will be able to vote. Drag all your Wedge friends, 'cause it'll be a LHENA hootenanny.
But then again, they totally ignored the neighborhood charter when they re-formed the NRP committee and appointed people without elections.

Re: 2320 Colfax Avenue Apartments
It's pretty simple. Offer to buy the properties from Lander at what he paid plus marginal interest costs, go through the actual work of seeing if this is technically and economically feasible, and then go build it.
Re: 2320 Colfax Avenue Apartments
What is their goal here? Do they think the developer is actually going to go through the work of maintaining these two old buildings? Gutting them and turning them into triplexes or whatever? No! It's not cost effective. I would be very surprised to see this happen.

Re: 2320 Colfax Avenue Apartments
They should just tear down the house already if they have the demo permit. Or maybe donate it to MFD for firefighting exercises, videotaped and posted online for MRRD. They've done that with some houses on the northside, right?

Re: 2320 Colfax Avenue Apartments
Was this thing presented at the meeting?
So, to be "sensitive to the neighborhood" someone should cram in an architectural abomination JUST behind these two buildings in order to "save" them?
I assume that this has been covered, but "The Healy Project" thinks that the economics on rehabbing those buildings and building that awful idea behind it is equivalent to the proposed? Right.
This is a joke, correct?

It looks like a crappy 80s hotel in Door County

Re: 2320 Colfax Avenue Apartments
I've actually long thought something similar would be good for clusters of frame structures that still stand on some transit routes, for example on Lyndale south of 26th. It's always a bad idea to marry faux historicism with actual historic features though. The "infill" addition should be contemporary and actually mostly styleless.
