From tonight’s meeting of the Southwest Design Review Board: One project on the agenda, 3261 SW Avalon Way, six stories and about 120 units, not too far east of 35th (in the image above, that’s the not-entirely-finished 35th/Avalon building at right). This was the second Design Review meeting for the project, and the meeting concluded with the board recommending approval, with conditions. As was the case in the previous review, they are still concerned about the neighbors on either side (West Seattle Stadium is downslope on the south side), since the building is proposed to take up most of the lot; the only member of the public to speak at the meeting was a resident of a neighboring meeting, concerned about the proximity. Traffic challenges were mentioned too; the building is proposed for two parking entrances off Avalon, and will have about one space for each unit. The project site spans five lots, four of which currently hold single-family homes.
