Fresh Market Design Sees Minor Revisions, Gets Timeline

Richard Snowden spoke about the negotiating process between Bowman properties and the neighbors of the development at 8200 Germantown Avenue at a Chestnut Hill Community Association meeting last week.

"There are a number of tweaks around the building. The original declaration anticipated that there would be negotiations back and forth," Snowden said at the board of directors meeting.

The board of directors voted to allow minor revisions to be handled by the negotiating committee, the technical review committee and the executive committee in charge fo the project, without needing to report to the board of directors. The motion was made and passed to save time on passing minor revisions.

More recently, according to a Newsworks article, Bowman properties discussed the timeline of the development, which will include a Fresh Market, retail space, condos and townhouses.

Some of the revisions include rain gardens and green roofs.

At Tuesday's Land Use, Planning and Zoning committee meeting, Bowman Properties' lead architect, Charles Keefer, said demolition of the Magarity dealership building could begin this fall, and the construction could take about 18 months.
