Story Hillers: New proposal for greenhouse site; meeting scheduled

The latest home designs proposed by developer Sheila Firari for the former greenhouse site at 5033 W. Bluemound Rd. will be the subject of a neighborhood meeting at 7:15 p.m. Thursday evening, Sept. 25, at Hawley Rd. Elementary School, 5610 W. Wisconsin Ave. The meeting is being hosted by Ald. Michael Murphy.

Come give your opinions!

Firari now is proposing to build three two-family side-by side condos. The immediate neighbors are generally supportive of the latest incarnation, according to Firari and a quick neighbor check by Milwaukee Rising.

Latest proposal for the old greenhouse site in Story Hill

Here’s the latest designs developer Sheila Firari is proposing for the lots she owns with a partner on Bluemound Rd. west of N. 50th St. in Story Hill, the site of the former greenhouse. Note that the garages are on the west side of the houses and very near Mitchell Blvd. Park. Previous, similar layout proposals have been rejected by neighborhood residents. Click on the pictures to see larger versions.

The plans received a lukewarm reception when Firari presented them to a group of neighborhood residents according to a couple people who were there.
