I always try to do it. Glad to do so especially when they are local.

Really local in this case as EOA is located in East Nashville.  They are also aiding in the rebuild of the YMCA on Russell and the East End United Methodist Church...both of which were destroyed in the tornado as well.

Are there any rendering of the East End UMC? I would be very much interested in seeing those. Mark Sanders is doing the Y, correct?

You missed out on it during the vigil walk on the anniversary of the tornado as they had the rendering shown for the public to see.  I'm a fan.

Mark and Patti Sanders continue their civic duty in the East End neighborhood and purchased the Y.  I don't believe that design is public yet.

1505 Dickerson Pike will be made up of two buildings ranging from 4-6 stories featuring 700 residential units, 20,000 sq. ft. of retail space,  and internal garages on 6.43 acres at 1505-1603 Dickerson Pike. Key Real Estate out of New Orleans is the developer. Humphreys and Partners will be the architect, and Kimley-Horn will handle engineering and land planning. A trailer park is currently residing on the site.  The team will go before Metro Planning Dept. on April 22 to seek rezoning.

I should have gotten over there as I spent several days helping a friend on Holly clean up. This was her second tornado as she went through the first one in 98.

I think that this looks pretty nice. It is three smaller retail spaces that address the corner nicely. The amount of grading for the rear parking was quite extensive to level out the lot over the steep grade change. The sidewalk pours are nearing completion and the the crosswalks across Gallatin can be completed.

The permit for the mixed-use building at 307 S 11th Street (NEC 11th/Lillian) was issued today. This will replace a surface lot. East End neighbor Mark Sanders is the owner and East End neighbor Rich McCoy is the architect. The two-story building will have downstairs retail with upstairs residential and office.
 

I worked with them during the early stages of my Five Points Rezoning Plan to move this parcel to MUL-A zoning. The project will upgrade sidewalks along the South 11th Street frontage to current standards, retain some existing street trees and add new street trees and I believe a rear shade tree and shrubbery screening.

I see no point in requiring new construction of multi unit residential buildings to be set back from Gallatin Rd. there. It’s all commercial along that stretch. Now there’ll be a sea of asphalt in the front?

Not to defend it in any way, but...that stretch of Gallatin has a LOT of grass. School and school grounds across the street. Single family homes with huge front yards on the side of Gallatin where these townhomes are. So, contextually, it would look weird having all the houses set way back from the Pike with something else jammed right up to the road.  Hope that makes sense....

You are correct about this. The historic contextual setbacks for Gallatin were extremely deep. Many of these parcels were working farms well into the 20th Century. The schools, churches and remaining grand homes were all usually set back on Gallatin north of Eastland. Moving buildings to the sidewalk makes sense in some locations but not others.

The two-building commercial infill project at 1000 Woodland Street in Five Points received approval from the Metro Historic Zoning Commission tonight. This project is going to have huge infrastructure costs for storm water. It will also require replacing the sidewalks along both the Woodland and South 10th Street frontages to current standards including planting strips and street trees. That’s a heavy lift for two small buildings. But I am happy about this project and wish the team success. 
 

Now I need to continue working with Public Works to improve/extend the sidewalk on the rest of that block face and leading up to the corner at 11th. I have a long-standing Capital Improvements Budget request for that but so far it has been unfunded. Sidewalk bulb outs or curb extensions require a lot of underground storm water infrastructure work. The fact that Five Points sits over the combined sewer system doesn’t help, either. Nothing is ever as easy as it would seem to be. 
 

But this 1000 Woodland project will be great for increasing pedestrian activation in the Five Points area and will complete the block face, which will provide better connectivity to the very long 900 blocks of Woodland. 
 

For those who follow Development Tracker, the zone change for 943-947 Woodland to move from MUL-A to MUG-A zoning for a fairly large mixed-use project being planned by Clay Haynes is filed. That base zone change item is scheduled for a Planning Commission public hearing in late April.

I think this is the right thread for this project proposed for a mobile home park at 1505 Dickerson Pike.  From the NBJ:  https://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/news/2021/03/19/dickerson-pike.html

Sounds very big.  No rendering with article.  Developer is Key Properties, who are also building 805 Lea.

From the article:  Seven-hundred units, retail space, two parking garages, a dog park and a courtyard are currently noted in design plans.

Here's the location. Sorry I'm tech-challenged. Tried to embed the map. So here's the link... https://goo.gl/maps/1vbktRdNTTSNgSUN8
