(Gloucester City News 5/31/12)During a brief meeting last week, members of the Gloucester City Planning Board heard an informal presentation by Jerry Velazquez of Triad Associates regarding some City-owned property on Market Street.

Velazquez said the lots, located at 326-328 Market Street, were purchased by the City about five years ago, when the municipality received some funds from the state. The building was originally going to be used for office space, but the plan now is to demolish the present structure and build three single-family detached homes.

Each house will be about 1,350 square-feet, with three bedrooms and one and a half baths. One home will face Market Street, while the other two will front to Powell Street.

Velazquez said the homes will sell for around $115,000 to $120,000 each.

The four board members in attendance voted to adjourn following the short presentation, as there was no other business before the Board.

The Planning Board will hold their next regular meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 20 in the City Administration Building, Monmouth Street.
