Chipoltes going in at 15th/Trenton, at a detriment

[inteller]

Apparently they are going to tear down buildings on the property which are within the historic trust to build a Chipotles.  Chipotles has renovated existing buildings before to preserve historical charcateristics....why can't they do it now?

pancakes is it going to take in this town to start doing sensible development?

I thought Chipotles was all about green development and sustainability.  Re-using an existing building would fall more along those philosophical lines rather than a rape and scrape and all the energy that requires.

Okay, well, I guess they are green when it's convenient or trendy for marketing purposes.

The problem is developers KNOW they have run of this town.  They know they only have to be green and sensitive when they come into a municipality who won't put up with their ****.  After sitting through hours of the TMAPC meeting last night I can tell you the citizens of this town are ****ED when it comes to getting sensible development.

Which buildings are they proposing to scrape? The antique stores?

Southwest corner of East 15th Street and South Trenton Avenue

I can't see your pictures but it is two buildings I think on the SW corner.  it might just be one though.  They didn't say much about it because it was getting deferred but something about the parking out back was non compliant and they needed more I think.

Parking density rules in this town are ****ed up.

If that's right, that's real wrong.

I like the photo back toward Jazzmo's.  15th street has spider veins in it's asphalt.

a representative from Swan Lake was there last night but "miss preservation" cantrell just sorta gave lip service that the TMAPC couldn't do anything really (usual excuse, yet they do things when they really need to).

I'd like to see some real information before jumping to any conclusions. The SW corner is very much operating businesses in buildings in decent shape.

I'm betting it's the NE corner that is up for sale:

listen.  I was at the TMAPC meeting last night, I pulled the location description right out of the Exhibit.  Unless INCOG is COMPLETELY inept, it is the SW corner of 15th/Trenton.  That is why a Swan Lake person was there.  They are going to scrape one or more buildings on that corner to build a Chipotles.  If you don't believe me DVR the entire TMAPC meeting tomorrow at 8 am.
