![]() ![]() The final feature that ties this all together is the agenda item for next Tuesday’s Planning Board meeting – Item I., “Housing – W Seneca/W State & Corn Streets – Sketch Plan.” It indicates the plans are ready to move forward for planning board comment.Īccording to a December Facebook post, Visum has a tentative plan to start construction on the project in late summer (the third quarter) of 2019. He received grant dollars to redevelop Wyllie’s along with Ithaca Glass, but a later revision removed Wyllie’s from the development project, with Cope stating he would pursue that as a separate effort. ![]() Wyllie’s was intended to be redeveloped into a restaurant retail by developer Ed Cope. The block that makes the most sense is the corner of West Seneca and North Corn this time, looking eastward, where the former Wyllie’s Dry Cleaners and its parking lot are located. The two key traits are a multistory building with a cornice next door, and a one-story building set back from the street on the other side. This design also appears to have a street-level retail component. However, like the first image, it contains both four-story and six-story sections - and given the logic of building the maximum of what zoning allowed as proposed in the first building, that means it’s probably a corner perspective drawing from West Seneca or West Green Street. The second image is a bit of a tougher one to figure out because there are fewer identifying characteristics. However, the zoning for 60 feet extends halfway into the block, and not necessarily properties with frontage on West State Street only. The taller wing does not reach the corner of West State and North Corn, as it appears the century-old brick building on the corner is not a part of the proposal. A cursory check of those blocks indicates that all the boxes are checked when looking westward from the corner of West Seneca and North Corn streets. ![]()
