[2907 E. Blount Street; case 26-467] Request for vacation of a partial alleyway at 2907 E. Blount Street. A portion of the alleyway was previously vacated in 2020, but a 10-foot-wide segment abutting 2907 E. Blount Street remained. The current applicant, Matthew Montee, who now owns the property, seeks to incorporate this segment into his lot for maintenance. The alleyway segment is not currently used for access and does not serve neighbors. Utility providers have no objection, and a utility easement will be retained. The Planning Board is scheduled to review this request on April 14, 2026. [50 S. 9th Avenue; case 26-468] Final Aesthetic Review for 'The Helm at Hawkshaw' development at 50 S. 9th Avenue. The project involves a seven-story main building with 227 multi-family residential units and two levels of podium parking, plus a separate club building for amenities. The design features resort-style pool, colorful facades, balconies, deep roof overhangs, and decorative shutters. Conceptual review was approved in December 2025. The Planning Board is scheduled to review this for final aesthetic approval on April 14, 2026. [400 E. Gregory Street; 698 Brent Lane & 5315 Springhill Drive; case not stated (minutes reference item numbers)] The Planning Board reviewed minutes from the March 10, 2026 meeting.
