ANC Preview: Big Projects Edition

Next monday, the ANC meets for its May session at 6:30 pm at its normal location, Visitation School. If you’re interested in big dramatic projects, this is the meeting for you.

The projects have been in the review pipeline for a while, and have been mentioned here before. First there is the new condo building where the Key Bridge Exxon is. It appears that Eastbanc has largely won the war with the neighbors over the size of the project, regardless of its impact on their views. Now it just appears to be a case of finding the right design aesthetic for the Old Georgetown Board to approve.

The other big project is the potential conversion of the Alexander Memorial Baptist church on N St. to residential use. GM had earlier reported that an individual had hoped to turn the entire property into a single family building. However, GM has learned that that bid has fallen through. Now several competing bids are seeking design approval, each one contemplating a multi-family project.

One other project that catches GM’s is not particularly big, but important nonetheless: the proposed removal of a ginkgo tree from 27th st. GM can’t stand ginkgoes, and is happy to see one go! (Yes, they have their fans, but GM doesn’t believe their canopies are particularly great in the summertime, and of course the fruit make the street smell like, well, you know what, for months in the fall.)

Here’s the full agenda:
