DETAILS OF CURRENT PLAN

Here are the details of the current proposal by Opus for the project as presented to the MLPA Zoning Committee on October 2, 2007 and provided to this blog by architect David Green.

As you can see, the site plan shows the encroachment of the project into the R-4 residential zoning district. The large rectangular box in the middle is the 5 story concrete parking deck. The other lines outline a 4 story structure housing residential and commercial rental units. It is helpful to look at the orange existing curb line to see where the new construction is planned as compared to what is there now.

This is another view of the site plan showing again how far the parking deck (white) and structure (lite orange) encroach onto residential land.

And this is an illustration of how the front of the project would look facing Piedmont. A very nice look, in our opinion.

The happy people in the illustration could even be neighboring residents if the Opus/Morningside project is ultimately built without encroaching into the residential portion of the Morningside neighborhood!!
