As Nitwit noted, there is a new planning commission up for next Tuesday. Looks like three items this week. Well, technically five, but three of them are presented together:
1. New neighborhood master plan for Manchester-Chateau. There's a whole lot to take in here, too much to really do justice, though a lot of this is still theoretical, and it's not actually a full rezoning ala Uptown. I like a lot of the suggestions though, like creating more underpasses beneath 65 for better connectivity, turning the lower portion of Chateau into a mixed-use neighborhood, and redeveloping Western Avenue as a neighborhood commercial street.
2. High wall sign for Hitachi at 1000 Technology Drive at PTC. Not really much to say about this.
3. The Troiani family asking to demolish the five remaining buildings on their parcel in First Side. We discussed this in the few posts above. At this point the tower is entirely aspirational. They want to knock down the buildings, put up some trees temporarily, and move spaces currently across the street
on their mini-lot at 113 Boulevard of the Allies onto the main lot. One thing I find most insulting is in the future tower they want to save the bricks from the demolished building and use them to create a new "fake historic" facade on First Avenue and Market Street.
