Little Pink (Town) Houses For You and Me

Here's the update on the saga of the mysterious craigslist ad soliciting business partners to build another one of those 5-plexes in Georgetown's historical district*. As pointed out in the comments of the last post, Flora Ave isn't zoned for anything other then single family homes. And I've gotten two verifications that the actual address is 6653 Carleton Ave S. The house (house photo from 1997 above, via the Seattle Neighborhoods website) was built in 1906.

Usually we don't hear about townhouse developments until it's too late, and the comment period has passed, so this story is an anomaly brought about by a bit of luck. The DPD's website lists zero activity at this address, though the original ad claims that DPD has issued some kind of opinion on the viability of development.

So there you have it.
