The four vacant lots could be occupied by six two-story buildings for commercial use. Buffalo Bungalow’s Anchor Real Estate Development is proposing projects for vacant lots at 936 and 966 Exchange Streets near Larkin and 935 and 945 Seneca Streets east of Smith Street. Each building will have an area of 1,008 square feet. The amount of space, including the mezzanine loft area. 15 parking spaces are proposed, and his one building at the eastern end of the property is labeled as a coffee shop.
The 0.60-acre project requires a number of differences, including excessive site width, insufficient setback along Exchange Street, insufficient ground floor height and transparency, excessive ground floor blank wall width, main entrances located along both Seneca Street and Exchange Street, and parking permitted only in the proposed backyard along Exchange Street “front”.
Greenman-Pedersen Inc. designed the project. The exterior consists of aluminum vertical siding, a timber-framed entrance canopy, and a metal panel roof.
Buffalo Bungalow recently completed two projects in the Larkin area. A three-story mixed-use building at 474 Seneca Street and a two-family home at 787 South Division Street.
