West Seattle development: Now you can see what’s reviewable @ 9043 18th SW

When we mentioned earlier this month that the “streamlined design review” comment period had opened for four 2-townhouse buidings at 9043 18th SW [map], there was one glitch – the design packet hadn’t been posted online, so anyone interested in commenting couldn’t see it for themselves. We contacted the project’s assigned city planner, Magda Hogness, to ask if that would be fixed; she replied to say it’s there now, and because of the delay, the comment period has been extended a week (that would make the deadline March 3rd). You can see the packet on the city website by going here. “Streamlined” means no public meeting, so this is your one chance to have a say. The project has eight parking spaces along an alley behind the buildings instead of built into the three-story townhouses themselves. It’s going onto a site comprised of two lots, one vacant, one with an old house set for demolition (if it hasn’t been torn down already). To comment, e-mail magda.hogness@seattle.gov and include the city’s project number in the subject line – #3020870.

    A realistic architectural rendering of that street scene would show it solidly parked up with cars like it always is.

    Sweet, more housing in the area without the addition of any businesses! Please, will one of these developers start adding some retail space in the bottom of these buildings? I keep seeing all these new box condos popping-up along Delridge, but not one new business has opened. How can we get some of the development to move from the Junction to Delridge? There’s so much potential for the Delridge community.
