In a supplement to the Tennessean, Davidson A.M., we see more news about development in the 12th South District of Nashville. Metro Planning has approved a rezoning proposal for 15 new homes at the 2500 block of 9th Ave South. These homes will range from 1,300 to 1,500 sq ft in size and will be priced from $310,000 to $349,000. These new units are to share a common open green space. The developer, Kelvin Pennington, is planning to name the new community Cottage Grove. The homes will conform to a historic design and style says Pennington.
Many that attended the Metro Planning Commission Meeting have voiced there opinions about the new proposal. Most of the concerns were traffic and parking related. Some were concerned about the density of the project. On street parking is currently restricted on this street. Jonathan Honeycutt (Metro Public Works) mentioned shifting the street to allow for on street parking. On the other hand a few local residents stated they felt the project would increase neighborhood property values. Yes...a good thing.
Kelvin Pennington (developer) plans to begin construction this summer pending Metro Council's final approval. According to him Cottage Grove should take less than two years to complete.
