Residents of neighboring mid-rise condominium buildings told plan commission members recently they feared another multifamily structure would produce additional traffic tie-ups, which already stall traffic for up to 20 minutes trucks block the one-way street for trash collection or on moving days.

Although plan commission members voted 5-1 to recommend approval, they agreed with residents that renditions of the proposed building were not available until after a community meeting that saw the Belmont Harbor Neighborhood Community group give a favorable nod.

The 88-year-old building was sold earlier this year for $1.3 million. Neighbors had hoped it would be declared a historical landmark.
