Commission reviews plan to add second floor and convert Main Street hardware store into apartments
Summary
Members reviewed a proposal to add a second floor and convert an existing hardware-store building (about 6,700 sq ft footprint on 0.48 acres) into roughly 12 apartments; commissioners raised questions about parking (approximately 16 spaces), unit sizes and market rents, and neighborhood character.
Commissioners discussed a proposal to repurpose an existing hardware-store building on Main Street by adding a second floor and creating apartment units. Staff and members noted the property is roughly 0.48 acres and the building footprint is about 6,700 square feet; staff said plans show approximately 12 apartments with parking configurations fronting the property and roughly 16 spaces mentioned during the discussion.
Members expressed interest in unit mix, parking adequacy and streetscape improvements. One member noted the units might be more attractive as downsizing or one-bedroom units rather than family housing, and commissioners asked staff to obtain façade and landscaping plans and to clarify intended rent levels, which were "not specified" in the meeting.
