Re: Unruh Furniture
Maybe HKC can hold a car wash and raise some cash. The insurance question is an interesting one. They may not pay for a faithful reproduction of the church, so is it enough that, say, the exterior of the building is preserved minus the stained glass windows and the inside is a white box? How much do...

Re: Unruh Furniture
The HKC statement is predictably awful. What a garbage organization.

Re: Unruh Furniture
I drove by this morning. The sanctuary roof is open and a crane is holding up an exterior wall.

But what if it was a mixed use jail with a city target and a grocery store on the ground floor?TheLastGentleman wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 2:46 pmI support the jail staying downtown, but I think the KCPS site would be better served with a higher use

Implementing the results of the Midtown Complete Streets Plan would be a start:

Re: Troost Village
Does it have anything to do with the Office space utilizing the gym in the other building? I could see that as the only reasonable justification to it The skywalk connects the office space to the gym (an amenity space). I agree that this is going to pull people into the buildings and keep them off ...

Re: 29 Belleview Town Homes
Townhouses and zero lot line houses are not the same thing. A zero lot line house is defined as a house that has exactly one side yard. KCMO allows for both zero lot line houses and townhouses. Though for some reason there is a limit of 9 attached townhouses. Sorry, my original post wasn't clear. Y...

Re: 29 Belleview Town Homes
Building code allows you to create a row of townhouses on a single lot if a group of 7-10 criteria are met. Building code is about life safety, so the criteria have to do mostly with fire separation, exiting, etc. KCMO development code places the additional requirement that each townhouse has to be ...

Re: Troost Village
It's on the MAX already, which IIRC allows a reduced parking count. I'd be curious to see how the parking counts were arrived at.

Re: Troost Village
The honky tubes are pretty obnoxious. I wonder why the developer would feel like they have to go to so much expense to keep the apartment residents away from the street level? Adding a total of 1100 parking stalls within a 5 minute walk of each other seems like massive overkill at the intersection o...

Re: Inclusionary Zoning
Seems like it would be good for the developers to organize and present some kind of PR/lobbying campaign. Just hoping that people somehow start to understand the nuances of the local incentives world and stop believing that developers are just a bunch of rich white guys stealing money from schoolkid...

Re: Troost Village
TBF, I didn't think anything had been done to 911 Linwood, so almost any work would put them further along than expected. :lol: So when's it opening? It seems like the exterior work is serious enough that you couldn't have people in the building without substantial amounts of that scope being comple...

^Urban3 does a lot of this kind of mapping. I've seen mapping that shows some eastside neighborhoods outperforming suburbs.

Re: Inclusionary Zoning
Conversations are happening. AFAIK part of the problem is that everyone knew this was in the works, but developers didn't show up to voice their opinion (or suggest alternatives) until the 11th hour. Yes, I imagine the city could have done better outreach, but the local development community sounds ...

Re: Troost Village
Holy honkytubes! The PIEA holds the SE corner of Troost and Linwood, but that lot is tied to the SW corner. Believe the PIEA would have to break their agreement with that developer to do what is shown here. I'm a little skeptical of any project involving 911 Linwood... that building seems to be an a...
