[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3.2 and street parking. Sweet. [/quote]

I think this is a fair point. There’s no shed or anything. Where do you put bikes, lawn mower, etc? Maybe they have a solution not clear from the photos. Also want to know where the trash cans are and how you get them to the curb. [/quote]

It says two of off alley spots will be constructed prior to closing.[/quote]

They would have constructed them already if it was possible. No way you construct a house like that and wait on alley parking. My bet is the alley doesn't go all the way to the house and they are hoping to buy rights from the neighbors. Hence the ridiculous price. I bet the city hasn't agreed to it either. [/quote]

+100 Developer is trying to lure buyers in by falsely promising parking. House sold in 2020 with no off street parking and continues to have none.[/quote]

I live next to this house and this is false. Developer (and some of the neighbors to the left of the developer) waiting for city to pave what is known as a “paper alley” by DDOT. This is an alley that is on the map and is a real alley, but was abandoned by the city. There are several of these around Barnaby / CCDC and in most cases people still use them, they are just ragged. This one in particular is almost not usable and many years ago someone put large rocks on it to stop through traffic. [/quote]
What are you talking about? There was never ever a through alley. It always ended where it stops today. There is a creek/tributary running through. There is no over grown road/alley as you describe and no outlet on Worthington.[/quote]

Sigh. I’ll say this once more. The alley is a “paper alley” meaning that it is a DDOT owned right of way like any other alley — it is an alley according to DC’s land records, however it has not been maintained by DDOT and thus it is an alley on paper only. What this means, as with any paper alley in the city (subject to certain exemptions I would imagine) is that any neighbor that wants to have it paved by DDOT has the right to have that done. This is exactly what the developer did — they worked with DDOT to have the alley paved up to the property. The preconstruxtion meeting has already taken place, and it is already in DDOT’s schedule. The contractor selected for the job is “Capitol Paving”. The alley WILL be paved up to the developers lot, and the city has granted them two permeable parking spots once the alley work is complete. This isn’t up for debate, this is what is happening. [/quote]
