During a recent government meeting, discussions centered around a residential development project at 119 Anthony Street, which aims to enhance the neighborhood's aesthetic and functionality. The project, presented by developer Shannon Key, includes a three-bedroom, two-bath home with a front porch that faces Anthony Street.
Key highlighted several adjustments made to the original design based on feedback received during the courtesy review process. Notably, the window placements on the front porch have been modified to create a more balanced appearance between the porch columns. Additionally, a third window has been added to the front bump-out of the house, contributing to a more inviting facade.
Another significant change involves the roof pitch, which was deemed too steep and has since been lowered to better align with community standards. Key also confirmed that the paint colors for the house's body and trim have been selected, ensuring they complement the surrounding homes.
The meeting included a brief interaction with the audience, allowing for questions and feedback on the proposal. This engagement reflects the city's commitment to involving residents in the development process, ensuring that new projects align with community expectations and enhance the neighborhood's character.
As the project moves forward, it represents a step towards revitalizing the area while addressing community concerns about design and aesthetics. The next steps will involve finalizing the plans and obtaining necessary approvals to begin construction, which is anticipated to positively impact the local housing market and community cohesion.
