development proposed by SRH1 Properties.
John Sterrett updated the members that the petitioner is requesting a conceptual review of
this development, which proposes commercial use on the first floor with three floors of
residential apartments above. Because residential use is not permitted at this location, it
would require a Planned Unit Development.
Discussion followed. Concerns were raised with regards to traffic stacking, safety, lack of
green space, and the proximity of the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The architect, Himanshu Modi, addressed the members and explained that they added
apartments to the project to ensure a revenue stream that would offset an uncertain retail
industry. They feel confident there will be residential rental demand.
John Sterrett provided some history of previous proposals to develop this corner. None of
which moved forward.
Some Aldermen expressed support for the proposal, but they would like it to be safer and
more family friendly. The consensus was that while the Committee Members like the
project, they have reservations about the location.
