City Taking Comments On Proposed Sand Point Cottages Proposal At Magnuson




A neighbor would like to share that the City is taking comments on  Sand Point Cottage Project (22 cottages) planned for the south side of NE 65th Street, just east of Sports Field Drive NE and adjacent to Magnuson Park. Parking for six vehicles is proposed.

The Low Income Housing Institute website says:
The Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) is developing a Sand Point Cottage Community projected to open in the Spring of 2020 in Magnuson Park. This project will provide 22-25 studio and one-bedroom cottages of affordable workforce housing for families and individuals employed at low wages. The cottages will have living and sleeping areas, lofts, kitchens and bathrooms. The community will include a common building, community garden, outdoor recreation space and walking paths. 
The vacant property is owned by the city of Seattle at 6343 NE 65th Street. It is zoned Low-rise 3 and is within the residentially zoned portion of Magnuson Park. LIHI will master lease the land from the Seattle Office of Housing. The cottages will be built modularly off-site by students in pre-apprenticeship and vocational training programs, and assembled on-site by a general contractor.
