| Solicitation Questions and Responses |
|
1. Regarding the historic buildings on the property, is there any stipulation against moving the homes to a different area of the site, such as moving the structure from 2238 MLK to 2228 MLK? DHCD will consider the overall historic preservation plan for the site. If a developer wants to propose something that may be outside the normal practice in a historic district, we strongly encourage the developer to meet with the D.C. Historic Preservation Office to discuss the proposal. The contact person in the Historic Preservation Office is Timothy Dennee. He can be reached at (202) 741-5248 or at [email protected] . |
|
2. Do you know if these structures contain basement space at all? Both 2234 and 2238 Martin Luther King, Jr. Ave., S.E. have basements/crawlspace. |
|
3. Regarding the solicitation, has there been any clarification as to what type of retail the neighborhood does not/does desire to have located on the site? Please refer to the solicitation for offers to find links to specific studies and additional information. |
