Plans include a walkway connecting Minerva and Main streets.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A property in the heart of Huntsville\u2019s historic downtown, which has sat empty for years, is getting a facelift.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s great to see construction starting finally at the old A&amp;P building,&#8221; Huntsville Councillor Bob Stone told his colleagues at Huntsville Council\u2019s July 23 meeting. Stone sits on the Board of Directors of the downtown Business Improvement Area as a council representative.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>The property at 19 Main Street East has been owned by Jim Witt since 2008 and while he understands people have been anxious to see the site developed, he said there\u2019s been a lot of planning behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the years I\u2019ve had every intention to do something with the building\u2014whether that\u2019s renovate it, sell it, add on to it, go into partnership with somebody on a project\u2014so all of these things take time and they take sorting through and they don\u2019t happen overnight,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He said at one point there was interest in bundling the property with other properties for redevelopment purposes including the former Empire building site as well as the property next to it. \u201cThat\u2019s where the biggest play could\u2019ve been, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s possible. Based on the fact that there\u2019s other parties that have their own interest, I just decided to go ahead on my own,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Witt said moving forward with the redevelopment of the building has required careful consideration. While plans are underway to add another storey, consideration was also given to turning the existing building into a three and possibly a four storey building. At one point expanding the building into an L-shaped structure with underground parking was also considered.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>One of the problems that I have in putting the money into that is whether or not Huntsville is ready to gobble up the amount of space that we would be putting on the market, so that\u2019s always an issue. The problem you have is you\u2019re still dealing with a small town, there\u2019s only so much demand for office and there\u2019s only so much demand for retail (space). <cite>Owner of 19 Main Street East property Jim Witt<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Parking has been an issue on that site as well. While it is privately owned, people have been parking there at no charge for years. Somebody has even taken it upon themselves to actually plow it when needed. &#8220;In doing so they\u2019ve helped destroy the surface of the parking lot. So I\u2019ve had added costs in that because now it\u2019s pretty well got to be dug up and start from scratch,\u201d Witt explained.<\/p>\n<p>As for the plans moving forward? Witt said he plans to add a second storey to the building, which will include an elevator. The second storey will contain about six office units with access off Minerva Street and a patio, while the main level could have up to six retail units as well. The end unit on the Main Street side will have a large patio.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-52701 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/07\/Siteplan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1202\" height=\"1063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/07\/Siteplan-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/07\/Siteplan-1024x906.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/07\/Siteplan.jpg 1202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1202px) 100vw, 1202px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>He said the patio will measure about 34.5 feet by 40 feet. \u201cSo you\u2019re going to get a tremendous amount of people on Main Street enjoying themselves having lunch, dinner, drinks, whatever the case may be. We want those people to be visible from the Main Street so people can see that\u2019s an active spot.\u201d There&#8217;ll be a second patio closer to the Minerva side of the building, which will measure 15 feet in depth by about 44 feet in length.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Main Street side, it will be fully accessible and there\u2019ll be an archway and a wide sloping entrance to the retail spaces on the main level with a parkette and a 22-foot-high covered walkway with large outdoor chandeliers connecting Main and Minerva streets. \u201cIt\u2019s going to have curb appeal like nothing else in Huntsville,\u201d noted Witt.<\/p>\n<p>The basement of the building will have a separate entrance off Main Street. Witt said the plan is to turn the basement into climate controlled storage units with a lift. \u201cWe are probably going to turn the basement into document storage. So somebody that wants to access their documents can go in off the Main Street entrance. If they\u2019re wanting to load documents, they would go off the Minerva Street entrance and access the lift without going through the lobby,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Witt said a lot of thought has gone into making the most of the building. \u201cAs an owner you\u2019ve got to make sure that there\u2019s a pay-back on the building and it\u2019s conducive with what the Town has been looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_52699\" style=\"width: 712px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52699\" class=\"wp-image-52699 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/07\/19Main-1024x456.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"702\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/07\/19Main-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/07\/19Main-1024x456.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2018\/07\/19Main.jpg 1202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-52699\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rendering of the building as provided to the Town&#8217;s Planning Committee in February.

Witt said he hopes to start building within the next two weeks and is hoping the building will be ready in 2019 for a late spring occupancy. &#8220;We want it to be the premier building in the downtown and it will be,&#8221; said Witt.<\/p>\n<p>A sign will be placed on the property in the near future with information, possibly a website and a phone number for those interested in leasing space in the building.<\/p>\n<p>The site plan was approved at Huntsville\u2019s Planning Committee on February 14, 2018.
