Runberg Architecture, which applied for the permits on behalf of the developer, will attend an early design guidance meeting next week. France Fitzpatrick, Runberg's project manager for the development, did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
The five lots total 18,500 sf and form an L shape that front 65th Street but extends in part to 66th Street. The properties are across 65th from Roosevelt Square, a block-long retail development. Development would require demolition of existing structures.
According to property records, the largest of the five lots is owned by Roosevelt Partners LLC, which purchased the 6,120-sf chunk in November of 2001 for $475,000. Two of the other lots are owned by individuals, including William Laffoon and Dana Papasedero.
City planner Bruce Rips tells GlobeSt.com that the process from early design guidance to a Master Use Permit usually takes six to eight months.
