Two residential infill proposals a stone’s throw from one another in the Westhampton area received different receptions from the Richmond Planning Commission last week.
The commission supported a plan to replace six houses on the dead-end Westview Avenue, near Patterson and Libbie avenues, with two clusters of homes totaling 12 units. The proposal from Richmond Hill Design + Build goes to the City Council for a final vote at its meeting tonight.
Commissioners deferred a vote, however, on Eagle Construction of VA’s plan to build two rows of four-story townhomes at 509 and 511 Libbie Ave., across from The Tiber condo building. The 14 townhomes would replace two existing houses and fill the combined lots, which total about three-fourths of an acre.
