Developers seek feedback for 48‑unit mixed‑income apartment near Good Harvest; commission voices support and requests greener design and shared parking study
Summary
In a consultation, the commission gave generally favorable feedback for a proposed four‑story, 48‑unit mixed market/attainable apartment building on Meadow Lane adjacent to Good Harvest Market, encouraging more landscaping, clearer entry signage, and consideration of a recorded shared‑parking agreement to reduce on‑site asphalt.
Developers and the applicant team presented a consultation Dec. 17 for a proposed four‑story, 48‑unit apartment building on a vacant parcel off Meadow Lane, which is not a public street. The concept would be a mixed market/attainable project with a mix of one‑ and two‑bedroom units and include some ADA‑accessible units.
Staff noted that the lot has wetlands to the south and limited opportunity for below‑grade parking, so the design relies on surface parking (the proposal showed 62 spaces). The applicant said they could pursue a recorded shared‑parking agreement with neighboring Good Harvest Market to reduce on‑site asphalt and increase green space in front of the building; Good Harvest’s owner said he would discuss possibilities but some parcels (previously split to CVS) are not available.
Commissioners praised the updated, more modern elevations and expressed strong interest in increasing landscaping, clarifying the building entry for clients and patrons, and exploring shared parking options with Good Harvest to reduce asphalt and add green space. Staff noted that because Meadow Lane is not a public street, the project would require a PUD to proceed. No formal action was requested or taken at this meeting.
