A proposal to build three four-story townhouses on a vacant lot in Old Town is scheduled to be reviewed by the city’s Board of Architectural Review later this month.
Land use attorney Ken Wire is requesting a concept review from the BAR to develop the townhomes at 806 N. Columbus Street, located near the intersection with Madison Street and two blocks east of N. Patrick Street (Route 1). The proposal is scheduled to head to the BAR on Thursday, October 16.
Two of the homes would be 16 feet wide, and one home would be 18.25 feet wide, according to the proposal. Plans call for three-bedroom homes with two full bathrooms, two half-baths, fourth-floor recreation rooms, rear decks, and rooftop decks.
