[OldNorth] notice, Planning for 435 G

[Dan Quickert]

John, all members of the Old North board were sent an email on 12/5.  So unless Heather neglected to mail notices to those legally required, if there's a noticing problem it would be with us.

>> are requesting entitlements allowing the project to have a condominium

>> applicants are proposing eight on-site parking spaces, providing one
>> space per residential unit rather than the twelve on or off-site spaces
>> currently required, at 1.5 spaces per unit, by the Central Commercial

>> required for ground floor retail in the Core area (Ord. 2148, Res.
>> 04-51).
>> In addition minor changes have been made to the exterior design and
>> floor plan. The minor revisions to the exterior allow for weather
>> protection at the residential entry and greater prominence of the corner
>> elements. The floor plan has been revised to accommodate the addition of
>> an elevator.

>> The requested entitlements and proposed project are consistent with the
