• 01-22-09 TN: 12South area adds 15 homes
  • The Metro Planning Commission recently approved a rezoning proposal that will allow for 15 single-family homes in the 2500 block of Ninth Avenue South.
  • Cottage Cove, as the project is named, would be just north of Montrose Avenue in the 12South community.
  • The development is proposed to have three-bedroom cottages ranging from 1,300 to 1,500 square feet and priced from $310,000 to $349,000. The units will be developed around a common open space.
  • Developer Kelvin Pennington purchased the property about 18 months ago and originally planned to build two duplexes, but then decided small conforming houses would be a better use of the land.
  • While some spoke in support of the project at the planning commission meeting, others were concerned about traffic and on-street parking. There is currently a restriction against street parking on this portion of Ninth Avenue South, but Jonathan Honeycutt with Metro Public Works said the roadway would be shifted a few feet to allow for on street parking.
  • Pennington says the project falls into the guidelines for what the area is zoned for and will not go outside of the density of nine units per acre.
  • Pennington hopes construction will begin this summer and the project should take less than two years to complete.
