Community support of Linden Park decisive

In front of a standing-room-only crowd, the College Hill community voted 224-1 in support of the Linden Park concept plan.

The concept plan will now begin its movement through the City Planning Commission and City Council. The College Hill Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation and developer Al Neyer, Inc. are seeking $1.8 million in project gap funding from the City.

The project at the corner of Hamilton Avenue and North Bend Road will include a three-story mixed-use building on the former site of Shuller's Wigwam. Included within the building will be 13,000 square feet of retail space and 19 market-rate condominiums with an attached parking garage.

A second phase will include 24-30 detached single-family homes to be built to the east of the mixed-use building.

More specific design details will be established if the City approves the concept plan and the budgeting of funds.

An updated site plan was not available at the time of this post. It will be posted as soon as it becomes available.
