FatherLand

Jets 719 Gallatin

So for some reason I've been stalking this house, 1311 Fatherland...just as of today property records are updated with the new owner, Marc De Jaeger...I could not find which builder/developer he's affiliated with though...http://www.padctnwebpro.com/WebproNashville/Summary.asp?A1=1546062&A2=1 Still no permits on file for rehab, but I saw a few guys cleaning out the interior and filling up a dumpster 2 weeks back or so

Local Taco is officially open! (.......and we've already been twice. That escalated quickly)

Jet's Pizza sign in window of the old dry cleaning place in Kroger parking lot, corner of Gallatin and Eastland, man thats great news to me!!

Can't vouch for beer selection, but will have a 'beer cave' http://www.nashville.gov/Portals/0/SiteContent/MHZC/docs/2014%20Meetings/09%2017%202014/SR%201305%20Gallatin%20Avenue.pdf?utm_content=buffera1af5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Haven't drove by to take a look, but heard that demo on Mac's has started, prepping for Oasis

I agree at the stark contrast, but I'd rather have a modern structure that contrasts sharply with surrounding structures, but happens to have residents that support local businesses and add to the local fabric of East Nash than a vacant lot that does absolutely nothing. That's what I tell myself anyway.

Curious what people think of the two new construction homes built close to the intersection of 17th and Eastland? Not the duplex, but the 2 very large detached homes right behind the white colonial that fronts Eastland -- https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1821133,-86.7385836,3a,90y,267.14h,68.17t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sOozwkfWkH2sItsW8rzFZgg!2e0!6m1!1e1 I personally think they're quite tasteful and very nice with substantial architectural details, but I saw a "Build like you live next door" sign right next door, which made me wonder what others thought of them and perhaps I was in the minority

Drove by there last night and made a wish as I tossed a penny in the parking lot, must've worked. Also looking forward to Rudie's Seafood/Sausage/Taproom where old Mitchell's was previously. They took out a wall and are adding what used to be Sip's next door I believe? And I wonder what/who in the world will go where Watanabe is? Such a great location.

Its true unfortunately

I found a demo permit for 401 N 17TH ST NASHVILLE, but does anyone know what is going to be built? Very large corner lot...looks like they started moving dirt this weekend, was demo'd a while ago... previous structure: https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1797578,-86.7392949,3a,75y,292.59h,76.01t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sPriKDopGJZFXonzwjTzY_g!2e0 permit: https://permits.nashville.gov/kivanet/2/permit/summary/index.cfm?pid=1966138&jur=NASH

http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2014/10/23/psc-metals-landlord-squabble-rent-scrap-yard-site/17774543/ I'm curious as to the opinions of local real estate gurus on the above issue

1000 Gallatin Ave, close to Dog Spot (Today's Fashion Mart) has windows covered and appears to be undergoing an interior renovation...not sure if it is slated for new tenants or not?

Great news, just drove by there last night looking for signs of ground breaking.

Hey neighbors, I wish I had more intel to contribute, I feel like I'm always just asking questions! With that said....curious if any movement has occured on these items? 1) 1311 Fatherland - estate sale that a developer was buying, Pete Prosser wanted to tear it down, but it's a contributing structure 2) Edgefield Restaurant: http://www.nashville.gov/Portals/0/SiteContent/MHZC/docs/2014%20Meetings/05%20May%2021/SR%20105%20South%2011th%20Street.pdf 3) 918 Shelby: http://www.nashville.gov/Portals/0/SiteContent/MHZC/docs/2013%20Meetings/11%20November%202013/SR%20918%20Shelby%20Av.pdf Probably the answer is these things just take time, but figured I'd ask, thanks all

Saw a zoning sign in front of 114 S 17th St: https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1757013,-86.7398508,3a,75y,273.02h,73.41t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sgo8a8QyAKJFuOl8VpFkeZw!2e0 ... I believe it said 'Reconstruct 2nd Residence' ... It appears they're requesting a tear down? Could 114, the smaller house, have been built in the 'back yard' of the larger residence on the corner? ...and yes, it appears that is the request: To demolish and reconstruct a new single family residence. Non-Conforming 2nd residence on the property. https://permits.nashville.gov/kivanet/2/permit/summary/index.cfm?pid=1999093&jur=NASH

Saw zoning sign at 322 S 16th St, in the 'gully' of Boscobel...couldnt read entire sign but looked like teardown request hearing? I assume this structure is 'non-contributing'? Looked up permit, "requesting item d appeal to replace non-conforming residences' applicant Ken Cunningham

So drove by So Clean Auto Detailing Shop today - corner of 10th and Shelby - and looks like they were doing some heavy excavating in their front parking area...could not find any kind of demo or construction permit... address: 410 S 10th Street Nashville, TN 37206

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, it is highly appreciated sir!

Does anyone know specifics about building a 2 or 3 car detached garage in Lockeland Springs, on Fatherland? Basically how tough it is to get approved assuming it would be a very nice structure built to fit in with neighborhood architecture? I have seen quite a few get built, so it's definitely do-able...just not sure if one must jump through 2 or three hoops, or dozens of hoops...Also, is it legal/permissable to build a loft on top of the garage and rent it? I have heard a ton of conflicting anecdotal evidence, and just don't know where to go for 100% accurate info. Thanks everyone!

I noticed a zoning sign in the front yard of 600 Fatherland...I think it's a duplex....not sure what's going on there?

Does anyone know how the Envision Cayce meeting went on July 1st?

Looks like exterior work being done at 519 Gallatin, home of The Fuselage, and the Rainbow Apparrel place is gone

Yes in that picture 1311 doesn't look bad at all. Also went back and re-read my choice of words: "hasn't been taken care of in decades" Probably exaggerated there, poorly worded! Didn't mean to 'bash' that property quite like that. And 1309 is kept up perfectly. I believe same family has been there since 2008, as far as I can tell. I zoomed around to the back of 1311 and the grass was freshly cut in that picture. But there have been multiple codes complaints called on it over the past 2 years, mattresses discarded in yard, trash everywhere, waist high grass in back yard, junk cars left parked, etc

So 2 houses within a few blocks of our home appear to be 'turning over' soon. One is 1311 Fatherland, which does not have a sign out front but is on MLS for $169,900...the Realtor said there's already a contract on home, apparently estate sale. I have to assume it will be a tear down, as it's a corner lot and the house hasn't been taken care of in decades...I would assume it's 'non-contributing' but am not certain? Also 1704 Fatherland sold last month to Garafola Properties, who appears to be the owner of Cathedral Construction? Do these guys build umbilicals? Or is Fatherland protected from those? 1704 appears to have some historical/architectural significance so perhaps it's 'contributing' and will be a rehab with an addition like 1801 Fatherland was. Personally I'm a big fan of the job they did at 1801.
