That thing is still on septic. Wow.
Great use of this home.
Several years ago I attended a poolside launch party at the Mansion. A TV producer out of Canada was attempting a sort of cross between Survivor and The Apprentice. Not sure what happened, but it never got off the ground.
City Staff says no and they usually get their way.
“Armstrong acknowledged that “a lot of people” would like to see the mansion torn down, but he said the decision to propose the alternative of apartments means the property won’t become a large apartment building that doesn’t fit in with the character of the rest of the neighborhood.”
This subject isn’t my forte, but isn’t this a contradiction?
If the area is mostly or entirely single-family homes, how is converting it to a 10-unit apartment appropriate or even legal? Given the nature of everything else around the, 10-units on a 1.66 acre lot is basically a “large apartment building”.
I think this is the beginning of the end for the dolphin mansion.
I have to agree here. I’ve rode my bike past that thing numerous times and walked around the front. That could be an equally weird 10 unit apartment. Nothing is impossible but tearing it down and building two lux SFH is probably better.
This property has been a negative for the neighborhood and city for decades. As a developer who has built new and renovated older properties, there isn’t anything of value here. If there ever was a reason to demolish a building, this is it.
The only advantage I could see for living in this monument to kitsch is that it would make attending lodge meetings as simple as a walk across the street.
