Noteworthy Information
1. Canopy project is finally fully underway with the sales office open. Permits for the first three buildings (15 total units) have been issued and first two buildings are going vertical. First building has passed frame inspection and is ready for insulation. All utilities are in the street and inspected for phase one. Curb, gutter, and paving are all complete. Water, sewer. Fire sprinkler piping, and storm drain complete for phase one. Siding has been installed and I am told they have five sales to date, even without any real models to look at.
2. Gravenstein Commons is installing underground sewer and water lines. Two of the four pads have been poured foundations, with the other two to follow next week. Vertical walls have been going up in at least one building, with others to follow immediately. Sewer and storm drain and water have been installed to the site.
3. Habitat project framed through the second floor, with roof construction complete and siding being installed currently. This project was a very big concern of mine for traffic interruption, but so far has gone very well with no real issues with traffic on Main Street.
4. On-going meeting with developer’s wanting to build on the two vacant sites on Valentine Av.
One proposed development is twenty homes with 19 ADU’s on the old LDS site and is just in the pre-development stage. The project intends to sell the homes and ADU’s separately under a new law approved by the state this past year. The second project is 60-75 units on the Valentine side of the Catholic Church, across the street from Libby Park.
5. Huntley Square on west Bodega has pulled all ten of their permits and we are anticipating construction to begin immediately. First order is to get the street frontage improvements going on Bodega. The issue here is that there is a high-pressure gas line in front of the property that has to be re-located before actual construction can begin on site.
