Avellino to convert retail space into two apartments
Sep 09 2008, 12:01 PM After years of availability, the second floor office/retail space in the Avellino Apartments of the Town Center may get converted into residential units.

City records, however, show that the Design Commission wanted that retail space when it approved a 23-unit building instead of the initially proposed 25 units in 2001.

Before the first pioneers set foot on Mercer Island, the soil was trodden with deer hooves of all sizes. This graceful creature, a treasured Northwest symbol, wandered the Islands forests and meadows for centuries. As Mercer Islands population developed in the 1900s growing from a rustic farming town into a suburban city the deer population dwindled until the last few reportedly swam away some years ago. Today, the tranquil species is back.

City records, however, show that the Design Commission wanted that retail space when it approved a 23-unit building instead of the initially proposed 25 units in 2001.
According to the citys development services director, Steve Lancaster, there does not appear to be a city code preventing the conversion from retail space to apartments.
There are no requirements in the current code that would prevent this, nor can I find anything in the codes that were in effect when the Avellino was originally permitted that would have required second-floor office space, Lancaster said. The street frontage retail space was and is required and will not be affected by the proposal under review.
